Measure

abscissa

Returns the x coordinate of a point or the x length of a vector.

abscissa(point) or abscissa(vector)

Example:

abscissa(GA) returns the x-coordinate of the point A.

affix

Returns the coordinates of a point or both the x- and y-lengths

of a vector as a complex number.

affix(point)

or

affix(vector)

Example:
if GA is a point at (1, –2), then affix(GA) returns 1–2i.

angle

Returns the measure of a directed angle. The first point is

taken as the vertex of the angle as the next two points in order

give the measure and sign.

angle(vertex, point2, point3)

Example:

angle(GA, GB, GC) returns the measure of ∡ BAC.
