An idiom referring to the line on which a maneuver travels from a Point of Origin to a Point of Completion.

Comments:

Line of Travel is a generic term and is used as a way of describing any form of method or maneuver.

Line of Travel is used to describe the route through space that a maneuver travels on - rather than the maneuver itself, how it was executed, or its intent.

A Line of Travel can be linear or circular; vertical, horizontal, or diagonal; or any combination of each.

Line of Travel differs from Angle of Travel in that Angle of Travel describes the angle at which a maneuver follows to the Point of Contact, rather than the entire path in which the maneuver follows.

Technically, Line of Travel differs from Path of Travel through the dimension of width. A path is technically thicker than a line. Another and common way to visualize this difference is by imagining a piece of chalk. If one were to use the tip of the chalk to create a mark, that would be referred to as a Line of Travel. If one were to instead use the entire length of the chalk to create a mark, that would be referred to as a Path of Travel.
