Point.translate()

The Point.translate() method returns a new Point with a translate transform applied.

Signature

Point point.translate(float deltaX, float deltaY)

In other words, this will:

• Add deltaX to the point's X-coordinate
• Add deltaY to the point's Y-coordinate

Positive values for deltaX will move the point to the right. Positive values for deltaY will move the point downwards.

Example

```js ({ Point, points, Snippet, snippets, macro, part }) => {

points.A = new Point(10, 10).setText("Point A", "text-sm") points.B = points.A.translate(120, 60) .setText( "Point B is point A with a\ntranslate(120, 60)\ntransform applied", "right text-sm" ) .attr("data-text-dy", -6) .attr("data-text-lineheight", 6)

snippets.A = new Snippet("x", points.A) snippets.B = new Snippet("x", points.B)

macro("ld", { from: points.A, to: points.B, text: "translate(120,60)", noStartMarker: true })

return part }
