[Constructor](#constructor-summary) | [Fields](#properties-summary) | [Events](#events-summary) | [Methods](#methods-summary)

## Constructor {#constructor-summary}

```javascript
geometry.base.Point([coordinates])
```

**Parameters:**

#|
|| **Parameter** | **Default value** | **Description**  ||
|| [`coordinates`](#param-coordinates) | null | Type: Number[]\|null

Coordinates of a point. ||
|#


**Example:**

```javascript
var point = new ymaps.geometry.base.Point([30, 50]);

// This point will always correspond to the map center.
map.events.add('boundschange', function (e) {
    if (e.get('newCenter') != e.get('oldCenter')) {
        point.setCoordinates(e.get('newCenter'));
    }
});
```
