The different possible ways to generate points are:
Figure 36: Characterizations for point construction
Exercise (CREATE POINT CAR):
Construct a point with co-ordinates X= 40 and Y= 125 .
Solution:
Click the relevant icons and then enter the values in the command line.
Exercise (CREATE POINT POL):
Starting from the previous point, construct a point with polar co-ordinates
radius= 17.5 and angle= -90 .
Solution:
Click the relevant icons, select the first point, and then enter the values on
the displayed numeric keypad.
Exercise (CREATE POINT DX):
From one of the previous points, construct another one at a distance X= 40 and
Y= 15 .
Solution:
Click the icons, select the point, enter the value of the mandatory parameter
DX (on the displayed keypad), and enter the value for the optional
parameter DY in the same way.
