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

 * of (x, y) coordinates rather than the strict mathematical one.

 * The hashCode() method in this class uses the values of the public
 * fields to compute the hash value. When storing instances of the

 * object has been inserted.

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