cls_Point

[Point(x,y,[z,[...])](#Point)

Inherits from BasePoints.

Represents a point or vector (of any dimension).

This class implements many usefull operators such as addition and multiplication, and provides common mathematical operations that can be applied to points and pointsets.

Example

p1 = Point(3.2,4)   # a 2D point
p2 = p1.copy()      # make a copy
p1`[`0`]` = 9           # set the first element
p1.x                # convenience property (.y and .z also available)
p1.xi               # idem, but rounded to nearest integer
p1.distance(p2)     # calculate distance
p1 + p2             # calculate the addition of the two vectors
p2 = p1*2           # scale vector
p2 = p1 * p2        # even for each dimension seperately
p2 = p2.normalize() # make unit length
