// Import Veg

// Create a custom type

struct Point {

        [self.x, self.y].iter().map(|x| format!("${x}$")).collect()

        // Other ideas:

        // - Add 3 decimal places:
        //
        // [self.x, self.y].iter().map(|x| format!("${x:.3}$")).collect()

        // - Do something different for x and y:
        //
        // vec![
        //     format!("${:.1}$", self.x),
        //     format!("${:.4}$", self.y),

        // [self.x, self.y].iter().map(|x| x.to_string())).collect()
