the machine will move in a straight line between the coordinates on one line
and the coordinates on the next line

for example:

   if the program looks like this

X0 Y0 Z0
X1 Y1 Z1

the machine will move
from
   X0 Y0 Z0

to
   X1 Y1 Z1

in a straight line.

all you need to do is collect the end points of the shape you want to
follow. The machine will move in a straight line to the coordinates on each
line.
