+% function CSX = AddCurve(CSX, propName, prio, points, varargin)
+%
+% Add a curve to CSX and assign to a property with name <propName>.
+% 
+% Warning: This is a 1D object, not all properties may be compatible with a
+% 1D object, e.g. a material property.
+%
+%  points:      curve coordinates array
+%  prio :       primitive priority
+%
+%   example:
+%       %first point
+%       points(1,1) = 0;
+%       points(2,1) = 5;
+%       points(3,1) = 10;
+%       %second point
+%       points(1,2) = 0;
+%       points(2,2) = 10;
+%       points(3,2) = 10;
+%       %third point ...
+%       % create a thin metal wire...
+%       CSX = AddMetal(CSX,'metal'); %create PEC with propName 'metal'
+%       CSX = AddCurve(CSX,'metal',10, points);
