title: Point.clone()
---

Returns a new `Point` with the same coordinates and attributes as the original point.

## Point.clone() signature

```js
Point point.clone()
```

<Note>

###### Copy vs clone

The [`Point.copy()`](/reference/api/point/copy/) method will only copy the point's coordinates, whereas this
`Point.clone()` method will also copy its attributes.

</Note>
