32 * the coordinates of the pointer.

34 * Instances of this class should be obtained via
35 * {@link MouseInfo#getPointerInfo}.
36 * The <code>PointerInfo</code> instance is not updated dynamically
37 * as the mouse moves. To get the updated location, you must call
38 * {@link MouseInfo#getPointerInfo} again.
