Drawing Polyline finally solved

Dear all

DrawPolyline is based on the DrawLine function: the segments are drawn as line, then joined by means of FCodes.

Next year I will follow Markus' advice and replace the flipping in DrawLine by rotation - but this requires some math - and is less transparent.

And yes, i will report these two scripts as bypass in various FM bug reports.

    alert ("An anchored frame must be selected.");

    return;

// Comment    Not yet supported (constants): lineWidth, colour, pen-pattern, dash-pattern, check arguments

//            x0, y0:    Origin of the object is deducted from the vertices.

// Attention  Due to severe misfunction of ESTK Polyline this routine is a polyfill: The vertices are

//            drawn as separate lines and then joined. This converts the selection to a Polyline.
