Visualization of `Line`

[Antoinemarteau]

Small bug : seems the infinite long line is not possible to discretize ?

using Meshes, MeshViz
using CairoMakie: activate!; activate!()
ln = Line(Point(1,1,1), Point(0,0,0))
viz(ln)

yields StackOverflowError

Stacktrace: [1] simplexify(geometry::Line{3, Float64}) @ Meshes ~/.julia/packages/Meshes/1Iszy/src/discretization.jl:135 [2] discretize(geometry::Line{3, Float64}) @ Meshes ~/.julia/packages/Meshes/1Iszy/src/discretization.jl:103 --- the last 2 lines are repeated 39990 more times --- [79983] simplexify(geometry::Line{3, Float64}) @ Meshes ~/.julia/packages/Meshes/1Iszy/src/discretization.jl:135

Got the same with GLMakie backend.

We do not know how to plot infinite geometries like lines yet. Any help is appreciated on a good approach. If Makie.jl has a trick to represent infinite lines and planes, please let us know and we can add the recipe here.

I have no idea of what is possible in Makie (I just wanted to report the bug), would you like that I try to do a PR to catch the viz calls on Line and throw a TypeError ?

No need for a PR to catch the error. Thanks!
