TPoint is a generic definition of a point in a 2-dimensional discrete plane, where X indicates the horizontal position, and Y the vertical position (positions usually measured in pixels), and 0,0 is the origin of the plane.
Usually, the origin is the upper-left corner of the screen, with Y increasing as one moves further down the screen - this is opposite to the mathematical view where Y increases as one moves upwards.
The coordinates are integers, (32-bit, signed) so the coordinate system runs from -MaxInt to MaxInt.
