Hello, I'm a very beginner in Pov ray, and I need some help for basic 
skills.

I just need to trace a line, which is going through some points. I find 
how to create a box, a sphere, etc...but not a simple line.

lineal_spine give me some circle or cylinder, I don't know why. I just 
wonder how to construc a simple line passing through poin( 0,0,1) 
(0,0,2) (0,0,3) for example.

Thanks for your answer :)

POV-Ray is a raytracer - it can only render surfaces (i.e. 2d entities). 
  A line is a 1d entity.

You most likely will want to use a thin cylinder to generate a line in a 
POV-Ray scene.
