point block

point block​

This keyword creates a reference at the current location where the point block is first declared. When at point or to point are executed within the point block, the location of the point will be used.

Example:

from std import *

v5v = supply("5V")
gnd = dgnd()

at v5v
wire down 100
add res(360)
wire down 100

point:
    at v5v
    wire down 100
    add res(360)
    wire down 100

    branch:
        wire left 500
        to point

    wire down 100
    add res(360)
    wire down 200
    to gnd

    at point
    wire right 1000 down 100
    add res(360)
    wire down 200
    to gnd

wire down 100
add led("red") pin 2
wire down 100
to gnd
5V12R136012R4360GND12D1redGND12R3360GND12R23605V

If at point or to point are called within an inner block, then the location of the nearest point: block will be used.

warning

The usage of the point block is very similar to the point keyword, but have slightly different usage.
