==Description==

In [[geometry]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology topology] and related branches of [[mathematics]] a spatial point is a [[primitive]] notion upon which other [[concepts]] may be defined. In [[geometry]], points have neither [[volume]], area, length, nor any other higher [[dimensional]] analogue. Thus, a point is a 0-dimensional object. In branches of mathematics dealing with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_Theory set theory], an element is often referred to as a point. A point could also be defined as a [[sphere]] which has a [[diameter]] of zero.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_%28geometry%29]
