Type: Point

The Point type represents a single, infinitely small, point in 3D space. The directions and signs of the axises are left up to the discretion of the user of the type, although commonly numbers extend downward (y), rightwards (x), and outwards (z) on screen. This type can also easily store 2D points, leaving the z axis at 0.
