# point -- construct a Point

- Usage:
    `p = point c`
- Inputs:
  - c, a listcontaining elements in the form {{list of complex coordinates}, other data} or a matrix (only coordinates) or a point or a cache table
- Outputs:
  - p, an instance of the type Point

## Description

    i1 : p := point {{1+0.2*ii, 0.5}, SolutionStatus=>Regular, LastT=>1., NumberOfSteps=>10, ConditionNumber=>2.3}

    o1 = {1+.2*ii, .5}

    o1 : Point

    i2 : peek p.cache

    o2 = CacheTable{ConditionNumber => 2.3   }
                    LastT => 1
                    NumberOfSteps => 10
                    SolutionStatus => Regular

    i3 : q := point p

    o3 = {1+.2*ii, .5}

    o3 : Point

## Ways to use point:

- `point(DualSpace)` -- see DualSpace -- a dual functional vector subspace
- `point(AbstractPoint)`
- `point(List)`
- `point(List,CacheTable)`
- `point(Matrix)`

## For the programmer

The object point is a method function.
