Moving
individual
points
of
a
point
cloud
When you create a point cloud from a geometry, the position of the points is based
on the vertices from the provided geometry. The result is a point cloud where the indi-

points of a point cloud.
Getting ready
For this recipe, we require a point cloud that contains some points. You can create
your own one (as we explained in the
Creating a point cloud from scratch
and
Creat-

recipes). We will use the point cloud we
created in the
Styling individual points
recipe. As always, we've provided an example
where you can see the final result of this recipe. Open

in your browser, and you'll see the following screenshot:
If you open this in your browser, you'll see all the points being moved around the
screen. In the following section, we'll explain how you can do that.
How to do it...
To create moving points, we need to perform the following steps:
