Don't know off the top of my head. Perhaps there is a way to simplify the line 
so all points that don't change the slope are removed. Then you can dump the 
resulting line.

 Points making up a linestring are just that, points. They have no

 +-+-+---+
 
 '+' are points defining the linestring that is symbolized by '+' and '-', but 
 there is no change in direction, no inflection point.

Thanks Nicolas. I was wondering what these points in the linestring
symbolize? Are the default set of points on a 2D linestring
indicating the positions at which the line is not straight and changes
directions?
