  We're contemplating creating a module that is supposed to read an
AVS geometry from other modules, extract the vertices (we're assuming that it's a POLYLINE type), and compute some shaping information.

Question:  Can we do this?  I know we can bring a GEOM in as input but there
don't seem to be any calls in the GEOM library to extract data from the edit list.
I know it can be done because how would the TUBE module work without this!
We run AVS on a variety of machines (all at AVS4 or ConvexAVS 3.9).  ANybody
have any experience with this?
