Since the mouse cursor is not a point, but a set of pixels inside a 
rectangle, in order to express its position as if it were a point, one 
particular pixel inside the rectangle is assigned to represent that 
point. That pixel is the hot spot.
For example when the mouse cursor looks like a cross, the hot spot is 
typically at the center of the cross, whereas for an arrow, it will be 
at the tip of the arrow.
