Pointsand

Pointsand is a term with no single, widely accepted definition. The word appears in various discussions involving points in geometry, data analysis, and software development, where it is used as a shorthand for the idea of combining point-based data with other constraints. Because there is no formal standard, meanings of pointsand are highly context-dependent and can vary between authors and disciplines.

In mathematics and geometry, pointsand is sometimes described as a conceptual conjunction of multiple point-related conditions. For example, "pointsand A and B" may refer to the set of points that satisfy both A and B. In programming and libraries dealing with point sets or point clouds, pointsand is occasionally used as a function name or operator that combines two collections of points, typically by intersecting them or applying a joint predicate.

In data visualization and geographic information systems, the term can describe plots that display only those points meeting several criteria, effectively filtering data by a conjunction of conditions. Despite these uses, pointsand lacks formalized definitions, standards, or governance, and it is not part of any major mathematical or software specification.

Notes: Because the term is not standardized, readers should rely on context to understand its meaning in any given source. See also point set, intersection, and conjunction.
