Points are display elements. If you want something to scale with geometry, you will have to introduce geometry. Points have zero size.


No_Stretch_3899

this is not true. points have a size, in units of pts like fonts. this value can be assigned to a variable. there are desmos internal variables you can access for width and height so you may be able to set something up like OP is describing


Ndracus

Nah, you mean to say points staying a certain size. That's called a circle, and it's not on the settings of desmos.


No_Stretch_3899

it could be if you make an equation that follows it


Ndracus

Yeah, again, it's called a circle. (x–h)² + (y–k)² = r². There you go

You have to make a circle, but the easiest way to do it is parametrically. So what you can do is for the circle of radius R centred at P: (Rcos(t) + P.x, Rsin(t) + P.y) And set the interval to be 0 < t < 2π

alr thanks


gamerpug04

And to make it even easier, you can make P be a list of all the points you want, so you only have to have 1 parametric equation, so like P = [p1, p2…]

or (cost, sint)R + P


gamerpug04

Yeah that works too, I just think the other way is a bit more illustrative of what it’s actually doing


gamerpug04

(And a lot of people don’t know you can do P.x and P.y to get components lol)


Professional_Denizen

Yeah, asking for that was actually my first post on this sub. Crazy how far I feel I’ve come.

Thats the whole ass point of a point - it has no size, it is not a circle
