<h2>Coordinates</h2>
<p>All shapes drawn to the screen have a position that is specified as a coordinate.
All coordinates are measured as the distance from the origin in units of pixels.
The origin [0, 0] is the coordinate is in the upper left of the window
and the coordinate in the lower right is [width-1, height-1].</p>

// The two parameters of the point() method each specify coordinates.
// This call to point() draws at the position [100, 100]
