Description
|
|
|
•
|
A point is represented as a dot. It has position only, and has no length, width, or thickness.
|
|
•
|
A point P is represented by its horizontal coordinate Px and vertical coordinate Py.
|
|
•
|
To access the information relating to a point P, use the following function calls:
|
|
form(P)
|
returns the form of the geometric
|
|
|
object (i.e., point2d if P is a point).
|
|
coordinates(P)
|
returns [Px,Py] where Px is the horizontal
|
|
|
horizontal coordinate and Py the
|
|
|
vertical coordinate of P.
|
|
HorizontalCoord(P)
|
returns Px which is the horizontal
|
|
|
coordinate of P.
|
|
VerticalCoord(P)
|
returns Py which is the vertical
|
|
|
coordinate of P.
|
|
detail(P)
|
returns a detailed expression of the
|
|
|
point P.
|

|
The command with(geometry,point) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
