I have a series of points, built with the foreach command.
How do I name these points : A1, A2, A3,... ? How can the nodes have a name that is dynamically linked to a variable? 
 
I'm still a beginner and I'm sure lots of you know the answer.
 
Thank you

It would more easy to give an answer if you provided sample code.

However, my guess is that the answer might be foreach's support of multiple
variables (i.e. use a second variable for the node names).

OK, here is a very simple sample code :
1    \begin{document}
2     Here are my points :

3     \begin{tikzpicture}
4     \foreach \i / \mypoint in {1/A_1,2/A_3,3/A_3,4/A_4}
5     \filldraw (\i,\i/2) circle (0.5mm) node[above]{$\mypoint$};
6    \end{tikzpicture}

 7    So long, kids!
8     \end{document}

It is certainly not very convenient to write line #4 if one has to place
dozens of points...

Thanks to you all,
Hugues.

Hi,

Surely

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \foreach \i in {1,...,4}
    \filldraw (\i,\i/2) circle (0.5mm) node[above]{$A_\i$};
\end{tikzpicture}

is easier?

Regards

Mark
