In that case, maybe an even simpler question:
What is the difference between sending a [1, 0 50( message to vline as opposed to line ?
There will only be a difference in how line~ and vline~ react to this message when the message was triggered by something with a "clock" inside. These kinds of messages are called clock-delayed messages.
Clock-delayed messages originate in objects like [metro] or [delay] or [qlist]. Messages that originate for example in mouse clicks are not clock-delayed (i.e. if you click a [bng] or move a slider).
vline~ evaluates clock delayed message with high, sub-sample timing accuracy. line~ quantizes even clock delayed messages to block-boundaries or to 64 samples, I'm not sure ATM which it is. But line~ quantizes.
So depending on when the message was issued any by what, the ramp generators may act the same or different.
Try delaying the message:
[bang( | [delay 0.3] | [1. 0 50( | [line~ or vline~] | [print~]
