place -- Position a point relative to two other points

Synopsis

Description

Gives a point situated at position a along the line (p1,p2) in units where they are at distance 1, and at position b orthogonally to it. Only makes sense in 2d.

i1 : circ=Circle{Radius=>0.1,"fill"=>"red","stroke"=>"black"};
 
i2 : (p1,p2)=apply(([-1,-1],[1,1]),coord -> gNode(coord,circ,Draggable=>true))

o2 = (p1, p2)
