GRASSHOPPER::GRAPHIC STYLE

Designers are using GH for renderings such as aligning props in the scene perpendicular to the camera. This is an experiment in trying to reproduce a certain graphic style for line drawings. This works well with straight lines. The VB component in the definition filters out non-linear curves.
