💖 NAME 💖

point — the reference element, bestie. Part of rheolef-7.2. That's the whole name, no notes, no drama. ✨

Okay so real quick, this page is point(6rheolef) and it's genuinely the smallest manpage you will ever read, and honestly? It ate. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the point reference element is defined for convenience — that's it, that's the whole reason it exists, and we respect that.

It's a zero dimensional element, meaning: no dimensions. None. Zero. Nada. She is not giving volume, she is not giving length, she is not giving area. 🦋

But her measure is equal to 1 — by convention. Not by math, not by vibes, by convention. Somebody sat down and decided it, and honestly, iconic decision, no cap. 🎀

Fr fr: the measure of 1 is a convention, not something computed. Don't come for me about it, that's just how it is. 😭

✨ IMPLEMENTATION ✨

This documentation has been generated from the file fem/geo_element/point.icc — so like, this is the receipts, the source of truth, the origin story. 🫶

And here's literally all the code that matters:

const size_t dimension = 0;
const Float  measure = 1;

Two lines. TWO. She said "I am zero-dimensional and I have a measure of 1, goodbye." 👑

That's the page, babe — from the rheolef crew, Version 7.2, and it lives at point(6rheolef). Go forth and enjoy your zero-dimensional queen. 💅✨🦋
