       Bobcat is an acronym of `Brokken’s Own Base Classes And Templates’.

       o      Xpointer():
              The  default  constructor.  Connects  to the Display. throws an Exception exception if the display
              cannot be opened. With multiple Xpointer objects, the connection to the  display  is  opened  only
              once.

              This constructor throws an Exception exception if it could not connect to the Display.

       Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are available.

       This  class  allows programs running within the X-graphical environment to set and retrieve the X-windows
       pointer location.

bobcat/xpointer - defines the class interface

       -

       o      boolget(int*x,int*y)const:
              Returns  in  its arguments the currnet pointer coordinates relative to the root-window. On success
              true is returned; false is returned if the pointer could not be moved.

       o      boolset(intx,inty)const:
              Sets the pointer to a location whose pixel coordinates are given with respect to the  root-window.
              A  negative x-coordinate is measured from the right screen-margin of the root window (going left),
              a negative y-coordinate is measured from the bottom screen-margin of the root window  (going  up).
              On success true is returned; false is returned if the pointer could not be moved.
