\subsection{\tkzcname{tkzDefPointWith}}
There are several possibilities to create points that meet certain vector conditions.
This can be done with 

\tkzcname{tkzDefPointWith}. The general principle is as follows, two points are passed as arguments, i.e. a vector. The different options allow to obtain a new point forming with the first point (with some exceptions) a collinear vector or a vector orthogonal to the first vector. Then the length is either proportional to that of the first one, or proportional to the unit. Since this point is only used temporarily, it does not have to be named immediately. The result is in \tkzname{tkzPointResult}. The macro \tkzNameMacro{tkzGetPoint} allows you to retrieve the point and name it differently.

 There are options to define the distance between the given point and the obtained point.
In the general case this distance is the distance between the 2 points given as arguments if the option is of the "normed" type then the distance between the given point and the obtained point is 1 cm. Then the $K$ option allows to obtain multiples.

\begin{NewMacroBox}{tkzDefPointWith}{\parg{pt1,pt2}}%
 It is in fact the definition of a point meeting vectorial conditions.
