A point variable u is a dependent of a point variable p if either u = p or u is the target of a constraint where at least one of the predecessors is a dependent of p.

Constraint support. The user may express dependencies between the various points of a drawing, such as the distance from one endpoint of a line segment to the other, the angle at vertex of a triangle, horizontal alignment of a point relatively to another point. (Mathematically speaking, these points are point variables since they may take different values (or positions) at different times.) Drawmetry automatically repositions any point variables so that the constraints are satisfied at all times.
