window ->pointer: point

Move the pointer to the indicated position, which is in the same coordinate system as the graphicals displayed in the window. The pointer needs not be in the window, nor need the indicated coordinate be inside the window.

This method should be used with care. Users tend not to like jumping mice. It is generally better to place a UI component close to the pointer location (see event<-position) than to place the UI component far away and jump the pointer towards it.

Class resize_gesture uses it to position the pointer exactly on the border of a graphical if it was depressed close to it.

Diagnostics: Succeeds without side-effects if the window is not displayed.
