how to find vertices for a geometry in OpenLayers

Question

I am having a LineString, where I need to find the vertices logically and save those vertices. Can anyone help me out. Or else how below can help me.

OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Geometry.Curve, { getVertices: function(nodes) {
    var vertices;
    if(nodes === true) {
        vertices = [
            this.components[0],
            this.components[this.components.length-1]
        ];
    } else if (nodes === false) {
        vertices = this.components.slice(1, this.components.length-1);
    } else {
        vertices = this.components.slice();
    }
    return vertices;
}
                }       );  

Please help me.

Thank you

You can get the vertices by calling getVertices() function of LineString object. Assume you have a LineString obeject named as line, you can get vertices of the Line by using following code:

var vertices = line.getVertices();

The function has an optional parameter nodes. If it's true, only endpoints will be returned, and false, only non-endpoints will be returned. If it's not provided all vertices in the line will be returned. You can find full documentation here.
