clone(): Point2d return a new Point2d with x,y coordinates from this.  
crossProductToPoints(target1: XAndY, target2: XAndY): number Returns the (scalar) cross product of two points/vectors, computed from origin to target1 and target2

forwardLeftInterpolate(tangentFraction: number, leftFraction: number, point: XAndY): Point2d Interpolate at tangentFraction between this instance and point.  
fractionOfProjectionToLine(startPoint: Point2d, endPoint: Point2d, defaultFraction?: number): number Return the fractional coordinate of the projection of this instance x,y onto the line from startPoint to endPoint.  
interpolate(fraction: number, other: XAndY, result?: Point2d): Point2d Return a point interpolated between this point and the right param.  
interpolateXY(fractionX: number, fractionY: number, other: XAndY, result?: Point2d): Point2d Return a point with independent x,y fractional interpolation.  
minus(vector: XAndY, result?: Point2d): Point2d Return this point minus vector

plusXY(dx: number = 0, dy: number = 0, result?: Point2d): Point2d Return point plus vector  
create(x: number = 0, y: number = 0, result?: Point2d): Point2d Static Return a point (newly created unless result provided) with given x,y coordinates  
createFrom(xy: XAndY | undefined, result?: Point2d): Point2d Static Create (or optionally reuse) a Point2d from another object with fields x and y  
createZero(result?: Point2d): Point2d Static Create a Point2d with both coordinates zero.  
fromJSON(json?: XYProps): Point2d Static Convert JSON [1,2] or {x:1, y:2} to a Point2d instance
