## Point

Represents a point with x and y coordinates in pixels.

    var point = L.point(200, 300);

All Leaflet methods and options that accept Point objects also accept them in a simple Array form (unless noted otherwise), so these lines are equivalent:

    map.panBy([200, 300]);
    map.panBy(L.point(200, 300));

### Creation

Factory | Description
--- | ---
`L.point( <Number> x, <Number> y, <Boolean> round? )` | Creates a Point object with the given `x` and `y` coordinates. If optional `round` is set to `true`, rounds the `x` and `y` values.

### Properties

Property | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`x` | `Number` | The x coordinate.
`y` | `Number` | The y coordinate.

### Methods

Method | Returns | Description
--- | --- | ---
`add( <Point> otherPoint )` | `Point` | Returns the result of addition of the current and the given points.
`subtract( <Point> otherPoint )` | `Point` | Returns the result of subtraction of the given point from the current.
`multiplyBy( <Number> number )` | `Point` | Returns the result of multiplication of the current point by the given number.
`divideBy( <Number> number, <Boolean> round? )` | `Point` | Returns the result of division of the current point by the given number. If optional `round` is set to `true`, returns a rounded result.
`distanceTo( <Point> otherPoint )` | `Number` | Returns the distance between the current and the given points.
`clone()` | `Point` | Returns a copy of the current point.
`round()` | `Point` | Returns a copy of the current point with rounded coordinates.
`floor()` | `Point` | Returns a copy of the current point with floored coordinates (rounded down).
`equals( <Point> otherPoint )` | `Boolean` | Returns `true` if the given point has the same coordinates.
`contains( <Point> otherPoint )` | `Boolean` | Returns `true` if the both coordinates of the given point are less than the corresponding current point coordinates (in absolute values).
`toString()` | `String` | Returns a string representation of the point for debugging purposes.
