# Points

Meshes.PointType
Point{Dim,T}

A point in Dim-dimensional space with coordinates of type T. The coordinates of the point provided upon construction are with respect to the canonical Euclidean basis.

Example

O = Point(0.0, 0.0) # origin of 2D Euclidean space

Notes

• Type aliases are Point1, Point2, Point3, Point1f, Point2f, Point3f
