collinear

In a geometry, points are said to be collinear if they all lie on a straight line.

In the following picture, $A$ , $P$ , and $B$ are collinear.

$\begin{pspicture}(-2,-0.3)(3,0.1) \psline(-2,0)(3,0) \psdots(-2,0)(0,0)(3,0) \rp... ... \rput[a](0,-0.3){$P$} \rput[a](3,-0.3){$B$} \rput[a](0,0.03){.} \end{pspicture}$
