Moving individual points of a point cloud


When you create a point cloud from a geometry, the position of the points is based on the vertices from the provided geometry. The result is a point cloud where the individual points don't move. In this recipe, we show you how you can move the individual points of a point cloud.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we require a point cloud that contains some points. You can create your own one (as we explained in the Creating a point cloud from scratch and Creating a point cloud from an existing geometry recipes). We will use the point cloud we created in the Styling individual points recipe. As always, we've provided an example where you can see the final result of this recipe. Open 06.05-move-individual-points.html in your browser, and you'll see the following screenshot:
