This command creates a new point in a DataHub instance. Normally it is not necessary to create points manually—the DataHub instance creates a new point any time a program sends one. However, this command is useful for creating points programmatically from within the DataHub instance. See also cset.
Using the Gamma datahub_command function, you
could pass a create command to a DataHub instance as follows
to create MyNewPoint in the default
domain, and assign it a value of 1.
datahub_command ("(create default:MyNewPoint)", 1);
