Le point de plume est de même utilisation que le point d'arêtes, mais d'une exécution beaucoup plus rapide. Il consiste en une succession de points en Y alignés de façon que les points centraux se touchent. Ce point se fait de haut en bas et à égale distance de part et d'autre d'un simple tracé.

OBS

Le même point, aligné horizontalement ou employé en Y isolés, prend souvent le nom de «point de mouche».
