Point:

The smallest object which can be manipulated by laser graphics software.
Usually includes X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates, and
visibility (on or off) and/or color. Can also include Z (depth), size,
shape and other attributes. Computer controlled graphics work by rapidly
moving the laser beam from one point to another. The software shows a
sequence of points to form a "connect the dots" drawing. See also:Color,
Coordinates, Point number, X axis, Y axis, Z axis.
