title: Point.copy()
---

A point's `copy()` method returns a new point with the same coordinates as the original point.
This method does _not_ copy any attributes the original point may have.

## Point.copy() signature

```js
Point point.copy()
```

<Note>

###### Copy vs clone

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

</Note>
