Point ObjectSummaryPoint or vector in 2D space.DetailsThe Point object represents the point or vector in 2D space. It is used in many methods and properties where a pair of coordinates is needed. To create a new Point object you can use the PointXY or PointRA methods of the Application object. Each of these creates a new Point with given Cartesian or polar coordinates. Once created, you can use a Point for several needs. You can change the Point's coordinates at any time using either Cartesian or polar coordinates or a mix. The following example creates a new point, adds the vertex to the geometric model, then changes the point's coordinates and uses it for creating another vertex.
The following example creates p as a new Point, sets its Cartesian coordinates as (x=0, y=1) and uses the point for creating a new model vertex. Then we change the Phi polar coordinate to 45 degree (the R polar coordinate remains unchanged) and use the point to create another model vertex.
Dim QF As QuickField.Application Please note, that the second AddVertex method creates the vertex with polar coordinates as (r = 1, phi = 45 deg), which is equal to Cartesian coordinates (x = 0.70711, y = 0.70711). When you change one of Cartesian coordinate properties, the remaining Cartesian coordinate stays unchanged, and vice versa: when one polar coordinate is changed, the other polar coordinate keeps its value.
