Examples

Example: Default endpoint

The default <endpoint> behaves like a <point>. An <endpoint> also accepts all <point> attributes.

Example: An `<endpoint>` shares `<point>` attributes

All attributes and properties that are available to points are also available to endpoints. Endpoints can also have the same constraints as points.

Attribute Examples

Attribute Example: switchable

The switchable attribute allows the user to click the <endpoint> to switch between an open and a closed point.

Attribute Example: open

The open attribute renders an <endpoint> that is open.

Property Examples

Property Example: `<point>` properties

The properties of points are accessible to endpoints as well. A few selected properties are illustrated.

Property Example: attributes as properties

Both attributes of <endpoint> are also accessible as properties.
