title: Point.flipX()
---

The `Point.flipX()` method returns a new `Point` that mirrors the original
point around the X-value of the point you pass it.  If you do not pass in a
point, it will default to mirroring around an X-value of zero.

## Signature

```js
Point point.flipX(Point mirror = false)
```

## Example

```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, part }) => {

  points.top = new Point(50, 10)
  points.out1 = new Point(70, 30)
  points.in1 = new Point(55, 35)
  points.out2 = new Point(75, 50)
  points.in2 = new Point(60, 55)
  points.out3 = new Point(80, 70)
  points.in3 = new Point(55, 70)
  points.trunkOut = new Point(55, 80)
