// <synopsis>
// This class is a base class upon which tools which respond to
// various events on a PixelCanvas can be built.  It wraps up
// the position, motion and refresh events so that the programmer
// sees them all coming into one class, where they can be dealt
// with in a unified manner.  PCTool is not actually abstract,
// so the programmer need only write handlers for the events in
// which they are interested.
// </synopsis>

// <example>
// </example>

// <motivation>
// The majority of tools written for the PixelCanvas will fall
// into the category that this class serves: they respond to a
// single key or mouse button, and they potentially need to
// respond to position, motion and refresh events.
// </motivation>
