Using Shape Line
Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to replace line renderer by your line shape ( the objective is to replace line renderer by tomething more beautiful)?

it doesn't share all features of the line renderer, so it's not a 1:1 replacement
Shapes doesn't support custom textures/materials, and a lot of its behavior you'll have to code yourself (while Unity's trail renderer etc animates on its own)
Ok thanks for the quick answer, im a beginner in unity and my goal is to replace a plan trajectory represented by a line renderer by something more esthetic like your lines and i dont know how to do that.
My point is , is that actually possible to visualize trajectory with your asset ?
oh, definitely yes! you can do that with a polyline, supply it with all the points in the path, and you're good to go :)
Ok i dont know how to do that for now but i will try it, the problem is i have to go from a line renderer into a polyline for now, i will try tomorrow, and i will ask you some questions if that does not bother you. Thanks you again.

But what is he difference between polyline and line renderer ? They both needs points to be visualized right ?
they have a slightly different feature set, Shapes has corner mitering modes, Unity's does not. Unity's has texture support, Shapes does not, and so on. you can compare the two here:
