A coordinate is a -number that may have a decimal point and a minus sign -- a number like 5, 2.3 -or -3.1416. A coordinate specifies a length in multiples of the unit length -<font color="#008080">|\unitlength|</font>, so if <font color="#008080">|\unitlength|</font> has been set to 1cm, then the coordinate -2.54 specifies a length of 2.54 centimetres.
