\section{The points} I made a distinction between the point used in Euclidean geometry and the point used to represent an element of a statistical cloud. In the first case, I use as object a \tkzname{node}, which means that the representation of the point cannot be modified by a \tkzname{scale}; in the second case, I use as object a \tkzname{plot mark}. The latter can be scaled and have more varied forms than the node. The new macro is \tkzNameMacro{tkzDefPoint}, it allows to use \TIKZ-specific options as a shift and the values are processed with tkz-base. Moreover, if calculations are needed then the \tkzNamePack{xfp} package takes care of them. You can use Cartesian or polar coordinates. \subsection{Defining a point in Cartesian coordinates: \tkzcname{tkzDefPoint}} \hypertarget{tdp}{} \begin{NewMacroBox}{tkzDefPoint}{\oarg{local options}\parg{x,y}\var{name} or \parg{a:r}\var{name}}% \begin{tabular}{lll}% arguments & default & definition \\ \midrule \TAline{x,y}{no default}{$x$ and $y$ are two dimensions, by default in cm.} \TAline{a:r}{no default}{$a$ is an angle in degrees, $r$ is a dimension} \bottomrule \end{tabular} \medskip \noindent{The mandatory arguments of this macro are two dimensions expressed with decimals, in the first case they are two measures of length, in the second case they are a measure of length and the measure of an angle in degrees}. \medskip \begin{tabular}{lll}% \toprule options & default & definition \\ \midrule \TOline{shift} {(0,0)} {value spacing} \bottomrule \end{tabular} \medskip \noindent{All the options of \TIKZ\ that we can apply to \tkzname{coordinate}, are applicable (well I hope!) as for example the option \tkzname{label} defined with the library \tkzname{quotes}.} \end{NewMacroBox} \subsubsection{Use of \tkzname{shift}} \tkzname{shift} allows the points to be placed in relation to each other. \begin{tkzexample}[latex=7cm,small] \begin{tikzpicture}[trim left=-1cm] \tkzDefPoint(2,3){A} \tkzDefPoint[shift={(2,3)}](31:3){B} \tkzDefPoint[shift={(2,3)}](158:3){C} \tkzDrawSegments[color=red,line width=1pt](A,B A,C) \tkzDrawPoints[color=red](A,B,C) \end{tikzpicture} \end{tkzexample} \subsection{Placing a label with the library \tkzname{quotes}} I prefer not to mix operations and use \tkzcname{tkzLabelPoint} to place labels.
