AbsolutePointSize
is a graphics directive which specifies that points which follow are to be shown if possible as circular regions with absolute diameter d.
Details
- The absolute diameter is measured in units of printer's points, equal before magnification to
of an inch. - AbsolutePointSize can be used in both two- and three-dimensional graphics, as well as in Style specifications.
- The following symbolic forms for d can be used: Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large.
- The initial default is AbsolutePointSize[3].

Specify the point sizes in units of printer's points:
Table[Graphics[{AbsolutePointSize[d], Point[{0, 0}]}], {d, {0.5, 2, 7, 15}}]Table[Graphics3D[{AbsolutePointSize[d], Point[{0, 0, 0}]}], {d, {0.5, 2, 7, 15}}]Symbolic values for predefined absolute point sizes:
Table[Graphics[{AbsolutePointSize[d], Point[{0, 0}]}], {d, {Tiny, Small, Medium, Large}}]Properties & Relations (2)
AbsolutePointSize defines the point size in units of printer's points:
Graphics[{AbsolutePointSize[15], Point[{0, 0}], Text[Style["15 points", FontSize -> 15], {0, 0.3}]}]PointSize defines the point size as a fraction of the total width of the graphic:
