Point name

Don't use the word 'point' at the end of the name you enter, because ANY-maze includes this automatically when required - thus if you include it too, your name may occasionally appear as something like 'Novel object point point'.

In brief

Enter a name for the point in the Point name field on the point's settings page. You must make an entry, but it can be anything you like.

Details

Point names should uniquely and clearly identify a point, because they'll be used to label results. For example, ANY-maze will report Average distance to the [PointName] point; so if you called the point 'Point 1', the result would be Average distance to the Point 1 point - this would be a rather ambiguous result; something like Average distance to the novel object point would be much clearer.

To avoid having very long result names, you should try to keep point names reasonably short.

Limits

You can enter anything you like up to a maximum of 32 characters.
