point <-copy: -> point

New point with same point<-x and point<-y. The copy is created using the equivalent of the expression below.

?(P?class, instance, ?(P, slot, x), ?(P, slot, y))

See also point->copy.

point <-difference: to=point -> point

New point with point<-x and point<-y obtained by subtracting the receiver's coordinates from the argument (vector subtraction). See also point<-distance and point->minus.

point <-distance: to=point -> int

Rounded integer reflecting the (pixel) distance between both points.

point <-print_name: -> string
