def lines_from_points(points):
    """
    Generates line from points.  Assumes points are ordered as line segments.

    Parameters
    ----------
    points : np.ndarray
        Points representing line segments.  For example, two line segments
        would be represented as:

        np.array([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0]])

    Returns
    -------
    lines : vtki.PolyData
        PolyData with lines and cells.

    Examples
    --------
    This example plots two line segments at right angles to each other line.

    >>> import vtki
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> points = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0]])
    >>> lines = vtki.lines_from_points(points)
    >>> lines.plot() # doctest:+SKIP

    """
    # Assuming ordered points, create array defining line order
    npoints = points.shape[0] - 1
    lines = np.vstack((2 * np.ones(npoints, np.int),
                       np.arange(npoints),
                       np.arange(1, npoints + 1))).T.ravel()
