Point

Home

A point is a marker that can appear as a dot, square, circle, X, or plus sign (+). By default, the point's appearance depends on the drawing's properties LC_PROP_DRW_PDMODE and LC_PROP_DRW_PDSIZE, but this properties can be overwritten for any individual point.
Points can act as nodes to which you can snap objects. Points are also visible within the viewport, regardless of how small or large the viewport scale may be. This makes points a valuable tool in the construction of CAD based maps.

To add points into a drawing use following functions:

Function	Meaning
lcBlockAddPoint	Adds a point with default style
lcBlockAddPoint2	Adds a point with own style
lcBlockAddPoint3d	Adds a point with Z-coordinate

A point object has properties and functions derived from base class and the following specific properties:

Property	Type	Access	Meaning
LC_PROP_ENT_...    Base class properties
LC_PROP_POINT_X	float	RW	X coordinate
LC_PROP_POINT_Y	float	RW	Y coordinate
LC_PROP_POINT_STYLE	handle	RW	Handle to Point style
LC_PROP_POINT_BANGLE	float	RW	Block rotation angle
LC_PROP_POINT_TDX	float	RW	Text offset X
LC_PROP_POINT_TDY	float	RW	Text offset Y
LC_PROP_POINT_TANGLE	float	RW	Text rotation angle
LC_PROP_POINT_TEXT	string	RW	Point text
LC_PROP_POINT_MODE	int	RW	Point mode
LC_PROP_POINT_SIZE	float	RW	Point size, in drawing units, negative value means % of window height
