Points

Points are the fundamental building blocks for geometry diagrams.

API Reference

geolet.primitives.points.api.Point

Point(label: str, x: float, y: float, *, label_dir: str = 'NE', color: str = 'black') -> PointT

Create a point in 2D space.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
label	str	Display name for the point (e.g. 'A', 'P_1'). Empty string for unlabeled points that won't be drawn.	required
x	float	X coordinate.	required
y	float	Y coordinate.	required
label_dir	str	Direction to place label relative to point. One of: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.	'NE'
color	str	Asymptote color name (e.g. 'black', 'red', 'blue').	'black'

Returns:

Type	Description
PointT	A point drawable satisfying PointT protocol.

geolet.primitives.points.api.Midpoint

Midpoint(p1: PointT, p2: PointT, *, label: str = '', label_dir: str = 'NE', color: str = 'black') -> PointT

Create the midpoint of two points.

Uses Asymptote's midpoint() function for the calculation.

If label is omitted/empty, the midpoint uses an inline expression and is not drawn. This is useful for compositions where the midpoint is needed as a reference but shouldn't be visible.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
p1	PointT	First point.	required
p2	PointT	Second point.	required
label	str	Display name for the midpoint (e.g. 'M'). Omit for hidden.	''
label_dir	str	Direction to place label relative to point. One of: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.	'NE'
color	str	Asymptote color name (e.g. 'black', 'red', 'blue').	'black'

Returns:

Type	Description
PointT	A midpoint drawable satisfying PointT protocol.

Examples

Basic Points

from geolet import Point, autofigure


@autofigure
def basic_points():
    A = Point("A", 0, 0, label_dir="SW")
    B = Point("B", 4, 0, label_dir="SE")
    C = Point("C", 2, 3, label_dir="N")

Colored Points

from geolet import Point, autofigure


@autofigure
def colored_points():
    A = Point("A", 0, 0, color="red")
    B = Point("B", 2, 0, color="blue")
    C = Point("C", 1, 2, color="green")

Midpoint

from geolet import Point, Midpoint, Segment, autofigure


@autofigure
def midpoint_example():
    A = Point("A", 0, 0, label_dir="SW")
    B = Point("B", 4, 0, label_dir="SE")

    Segment(A, B)
    M = Midpoint(A, B, label="M", label_dir="S")
