Definition:Complex Conjugate Coordinates

Definition
Let $P$ be a point in the complex plane.

$P$ may be located using complex conjugate coordinates $\tuple {z, \overline z}$ based on:


 * $x = \dfrac {z + \overline z} 2$


 * $y = \dfrac {z - \overline z} {2 i}$

where $P = \tuple {x, y}$ is expressed in Cartesian coordinates.
