[Dr. Geo] Re : Re: How do I indicate function values? (DrGeo DSL)

[H. Fernandes]

You can define another point by block to get the y value dot:

sketch point: [0 @ mobile point y]

To define a locus, the dependent point depends on the mobile point. I. e. when 
the mobile move, the dependent will move too
