Parameters

• If you pass no parameters to this method, a point is created at (0,0).
• If you pass a Point object the x and y properties define the properties of the new Point.
• if you pass two Numbers (x and y) you can define the horizontal and vertical coordinates.

   import pegas.geom.Point ;
   
   var p1:Point = new Point() ;
   trace(p1) ; // [Point:{0,0}]

Determines a point between two specified points. The parameter f determines where the new interpolated point is located relative to the two end points specified by parameters p1 and p2. The closer the value of the parameter f is to 1.0, the closer the interpolated point is to the first point (parameter p1). The closer the value of the parameter f is to 0, the closer the interpolated point is to the second point (parameter p2).

Example :

    var p1:Point = new Point(10,10) ;
   var p2:Point = new Point(40,40) ;
   var p3:Point ;
   
   p3 = Point.interpolate( p1 , p2, 0 ) ;
   trace(p3) ; // [Point:{40,40}]
   
    p3 = Point.interpolate( p1 , p2, 1 ) ;
