DOMPointReadOnly()

The DOMPointReadOnly() constructor returns a new DOMPointReadOnly object representing a point in 2D or 3D space, optionally with perspective, whose values cannot be altered by script code.

Syntax

point = new DOMPointReadOnly(x, y, z, w);

Parameters

x Optional
The value of the horizontal coordinate, x, as a floating point number. The default value is 0.
y Optional
The value of the vertical coordinate, y, as a floating point number. The default value is 0.
z Optional
The value of the depth coordinate, z, as a floating point number. The default value is 0.
w Optional
The value of the perspective, w, as a floating point number. The default is 1.

Note: Each of these values is what's called an unrestricted number. In addition to any finite floating-point value, you may use special values such as ±Infinity and NaN.

Return value

A new DOMPointReadOnly object representing the specified location in space.

Examples

The following code demonstrates creating both 2D and 3D points.

var point2D = new DOMPointReadOnly(50, 25);
var point3D = new DOMPointReadOnly(50, 0, 10);
var perspectivePoint3D = new DOMPointReadOnly(50, 50, 25, 0.5);
