(getpoint [point] [prompt])

Ask the user to specify a point.

This function waits for the user to input a point. You can use the point argument to specify a beginning point from which a guide line will be drawn, extending to the target. The user can either enter a coordinate or pick a point manually.

You can also include a prompt to prompt the user for the point.
