Outputs

• Point (point): the point at those coordinates.

What it is for

Makes a point from two numbers. The usual starting block when something in the graph needs a position that is not already on the canvas: a center to rotate about, an axis end, a corner to pin an image to.

Because X and Y are ordinary number sockets, they can be driven by anything: a slider, a Math result, a measurement taken off your drawing. That is the difference from placing a point by hand, which stays where you put it.
