Points.png

Commands: po, point

Specify location

Click in the drawing area or enter one of the following in the command line:

  • 3,4 - to create a point at coordinates x=3, y=4.
  • @3,4 - to create a point located relative to the last point created; this is vector addition (x,y)+(3,4) where x and y are the coordinates of the last point created.
  • 50<45 - to create a point 50 units from the origin, and rotated 45 degrees around the origin. The positive x axis is at 0 degrees, the positive y axis is at 90 degrees.
  • @50<45 - to create a point 50 units away from the last point, and rotated 45 degrees around that point.
