Both points and vectors are pairs or triples of real numbers. A point defines a
location in space, but a vector defines a direction (or translation) in space.
Some CAL functions, such as pld and plt, return a point. Other functions,
such as nor and vec, return a vector.
Formatting Points and Vectors
A point or vector is a set of three real expressions enclosed in brackets ([ ]):
[r1,r2,r3]
The notation p1, p2, and so forth designates points. The notation v1, v2, and
so forth designates vectors. In drawings, points are displayed as dots, and
vectors are displayed as lines with arrows.
CAL supports points expressed in all formats.
