Point Shape
The Point shape places a dot on the board whose position is driven by mathematical expressions. Points can leave trails and connect to other shapes.

Overview
A Point shape represents a single position in a Referential coordinate system. Its X and Y coordinates are bound to terms from your expressions, so the point moves as the simulation runs. Points are fundamental building blocks for visualizing motion.
