I am often use coordinates of points to draw figure in geometry. I know that, we can add, minus coordinates of points, example



begintikzpicture

endtikzpicture


If I have two points A(1,2,3) and B(4,5,6), how can I define vector AB as (B)-(A)?

  • Among the existing proposals, to my knowledge this one might be the most promising one. The open problem, though, is that the transformation is to "recorded". Some advanced transformation recording can be found here. But it seems that you are looking for something else.

If you use the coordinates only for drawing, simply define each components of points as variable and then define coordinate points using them. For example:



documentclass[margin=3.14159mm]standalone
usepackagetikz,tikz-3dplot

begindocument
tdplotsetmaincoords60125
begintikzpicture
[scale=0.9,
tdplot_main_coords,
axis/.style=-latex,thick,
vector/.style=-stealth,red,very thick,
vector guide/.style=dashed,thick]

%standard tikz coordinate definition using x, y, z coords
% A(2,4,3), B(3,-1,4)
defAx2
defAy4
defAz3
defBx-1
defBy3
defBz4
coordinate (O) at (0,0,0);
coordinate (A) at (Ax,Ay,Az);
coordinate (B) at (Bx,By,Bz);
%draw axes
draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (4,0,0) node[anchor=north east]$x$;
draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,4,0) node[anchor=north west]$y$;
draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,5) node[anchor=south]$z$;
%Dot at point
fill [blue] (A) circle (2pt);
fill [blue] (B) circle (2pt);
%draw a vector from O to A and O to B
draw[vector guide] (O)node[left=1mm] -- (A)node[above=-1mm,right]$P_1(Ax,Ay,Az)$;
draw[vector guide] (O) -- (B)node[above=-1mm,right]$P_2(Bx,By,Bz)$;

%draw vector D=AB
draw[vector] (A) -- (B)node[midway,above,sloped]$mathbfD$;
