pointstr(
POINT
)
The pointstr( function converts a point value into text in the format v,h (for example 34,56).
Parameters
This function has one parameter:
point – point to be converted into text. See the point( function.
Description
Converts a point value into text in the format V,H (for example 34,56).
pointstr(point(34,56)) ☞ 34,56
Note: This function is equivalent to:
str(v(thepoint))+","+str(h(thepoint))
