  * \brief A parametrized line
  *
  * A parametrized line is defined by an origin point \f$ \mathbf{o} \f$ and a unit
  * direction vector \f$ \mathbf{d} \f$ such that the line corresponds to
  * the set \f$ l(t) = \mathbf{o} + t \mathbf{d} \f$, \f$ l \in \mathbf{R} \f$.
  *
  * \param _Scalar the scalar type, i.e., the type of the coefficients
  * \param _AmbientDim the dimension of the ambient space, can be a compile time value or Dynamic.
