14.4.1  Defining a point in three-dimensions: point

See Section 13.6.2 for points in the plane.

With the 3-d geometry screen in point mode, clicking on a point with the left mouse button will choose that point. Points chosen this way are automatically named, first with A, then B, etc.

Alternatively, the point command chooses a point.

Many commands which takes points as arguments can either take them as point(a,b,c) or the list of coordinates [a,b,c].


Example.
Input:

point(1,2,5)

or:

point([1,2,5])

Output:

(The marker used to indicate the point can be changed; see Section 13.3.2.)
