Together with the students, we are creating an application that will draw interesting graphics (for example, sin x and others) using points on the canvas. But we ran into a problem - there is no function to draw a point of the selected color with coordinates x and y. Instead of a point, you can use a circle with a radius of 1. Are there other options? ---

Isn’t a circle with radius 1 a point? 🙂 ---
