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

Returns a new point with the same coordinates and attributes as this point.

<Note>

###### Copy vs clone

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

</Note>

<Example 
  part="point_clone"
  caption="An example of the Point.clone() method"
/>

```js
  let { Point, points, Snippet, snippets } = part.shorthand();

  points.A = new Point(25, 25)
    .attr("data-text", "Point A")
    .attr("data-text-class", "text-xl")
    .attr("data-text-fill-opacity", "0.5");
  points.B = points.A.clone().attr("data-text", "Point B");

  snippets.x = new Snippet("notch", points.A);
```
