# 3.12 The `point` command

The `point` command places a single point on a multiplot canvases, in the same style which would be used when plotting a dataset on a graph with the `points` plotting style. It is useful for marking significant points on technical diagrams with crosses or other motifs.

The `point` command that the position of the point to be marked be specified after the `at` modifier. A text label to be attached next to the point may optionally be specified using the same `label` modifier as taken by the `plot` command. A `with` modifier may then be supplied, followed by any of the style modifiers: `color`, `pointlinewidth`, `pointsize`, `pointtype`, `style`.

The following example labels the origin as such:

    set texthalign left
    set textvalign centre
    point at 0,0 label "The Origin" with ps 2
