--- **Core** - **POINT\_VEC** classes define an **extensive API** to **manage 3D points** in the simulation space.
--
-- 1) @{Point#POINT_VEC3} class, extends @{Base#BASE}
-- ==================================================
-- The @{Point#POINT_VEC3} class defines a 3D point in the simulator.
--
-- **Important Note:** Most of the functions in this section were taken from MIST, and reworked to OO concepts.
-- In order to keep the credibility of the the author, I want to emphasize that the of the MIST framework was created by Grimes, who you can find on the Eagle Dynamics Forums.
--
-- ## 1.1) POINT_VEC3 constructor
--
-- A new POINT_VEC3 instance can be created with:
--
-- * @{Point#POINT_VEC3.New}(): a 3D point.
-- * @{Point#POINT_VEC3.NewFromVec3}(): a 3D point created from a @{DCSTypes#Vec3}.
--
-- ## 1.2) Manupulate the X, Y, Z coordinates of the point
--
-- A POINT_VEC3 class works in 3D space. It contains internally an X, Y, Z coordinate.
-- Methods exist to manupulate these coordinates.
--
-- The current X, Y, Z axis can be retrieved with the methods @{#POINT_VEC3.GetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.GetY}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.GetZ}() respectively.
-- The methods @{#POINT_VEC3.SetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.SetY}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.SetZ}() change the respective axis with a new value.
-- The current axis values can be changed by using the methods @{#POINT_VEC3.AddX}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.AddY}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.AddZ}()
-- to add or substract a value from the current respective axis value.
-- Note that the Set and Add methods return the current POINT_VEC3 object, so these manipulation methods can be chained... For example:
--
-- local Vec3 = PointVec3:AddX( 100 ):AddZ( 150 ):GetVec3()
--
-- ## 1.3) Create waypoints for routes
--
-- A POINT_VEC3 can prepare waypoints for Ground, Air and Naval groups to be embedded into a Route.
--
--
-- ## 1.5) Smoke, flare, explode, illuminate
--
-- At the point a smoke, flare, explosion and illumination bomb can be triggered. Use the following methods:
--
-- ### 1.5.1) Smoke
--
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.Smoke}(): To smoke the point in a certain color.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.SmokeBlue}(): To smoke the point in blue.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.SmokeRed}(): To smoke the point in red.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.SmokeOrange}(): To smoke the point in orange.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.SmokeWhite}(): To smoke the point in white.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.SmokeGreen}(): To smoke the point in green.
--
-- ### 1.5.2) Flare
--
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.Flare}(): To flare the point in a certain color.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.FlareRed}(): To flare the point in red.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.FlareYellow}(): To flare the point in yellow.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.FlareWhite}(): To flare the point in white.
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.FlareGreen}(): To flare the point in green.
--
-- ### 1.5.3) Explode
--
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.Explosion}(): To explode the point with a certain intensity.
--
-- ### 1.5.4) Illuminate
--
-- * @{#POINT_VEC3.IlluminationBomb}(): To illuminate the point.
--
--
-- 2) @{Point#POINT_VEC2} class, extends @{Point#POINT_VEC3}
-- =========================================================
-- The @{Point#POINT_VEC2} class defines a 2D point in the simulator. The height coordinate (if needed) will be the land height + an optional added height specified.
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\POINT\Dia1.JPG)
--
-- ====
--
-- 2.1) POINT_VEC2 constructor
-- ---------------------------
-- A new POINT_VEC2 instance can be created with:
-- # Demo Missions
--
-- * @{Point#POINT_VEC2.New}(): a 2D point, taking an additional height parameter.
-- * @{Point#POINT_VEC2.NewFromVec2}(): a 2D point created from a @{DCSTypes#Vec2}.

--
-- ### [ALL Demo Missions pack of the last release](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/releases)
--
-- A POINT_VEC2 class works in 2D space, with an altitude setting. It contains internally an X, Altitude, Y coordinate.
-- Methods exist to manupulate these coordinates.
-- ====
--
-- The current X, Altitude, Y axis can be retrieved with the methods @{#POINT_VEC2.GetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetY}() respectively.
-- The methods @{#POINT_VEC2.SetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.SetAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.SetY}() change the respective axis with a new value.
-- The current Lat(itude), Alt(itude), Lon(gitude) values can also be retrieved with the methods @{#POINT_VEC2.GetLat}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetLon}() respectively.
-- The current axis values can be changed by using the methods @{#POINT_VEC2.AddX}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.AddAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.AddY}()
-- to add or substract a value from the current respective axis value.
-- Note that the Set and Add methods return the current POINT_VEC2 object, so these manipulation methods can be chained... For example:
-- # YouTube Channel
--
-- local Vec2 = PointVec2:AddX( 100 ):AddY( 2000 ):GetVec2()
