 * Instances of this class represent places on the (x, y)

 * origin making this the normal, computer graphics oriented notion
 * of (x, y) coordinates rather than the strict mathematical one.
 *

 * fields to compute the hash value. When storing instances of the

 * 
 * Application code does not need to explicitly release the
 * resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer
 * required, and thus no dispose() method is provided.
