The big difference is that a polyline can only draw connected line segments. Depending on your data, this can handle both line graphs and bar graphs. If you need disconnected lines, you will need multiple polyline elements. A path, on the other hand, is much more general. A path can do everything a polyline can do, plus several kinds of curve, plus discontinuities in lines, and more. If you have a simple set of points to generate a line graph, the polyline is probably fine. If you are going to do much more, you should invest the time to learn the path element. G.
