Yes sure,
To add a point, you do:

A = point.Point(x,y)
A.distance(PointB)
A.mispoint(PointB)
A.quadrant()
To make usage of the Figure class
From geomath import figure

Square.addpoints(pointA, PointB, PointC, PointD)

I am trying to understand the boolean operator "and" in Python. It is supposed
to return "True" when the expression on both sides of "and" are true
For instance,

[Regarding Python]
Beyond motivation, it's not likely just reading a flat text will be
retained meaningfully without creative problem solving. Personal projects
are the best route in my opinion. I like reading technical books but I
figure I retain a small percentage of the specifics.
