        Returns the Point at which a window should be placed to center that window on the screen.

        Some thought was taken as to whether to implement a method such as this, or to simply make a method that, given a window, will center it. It was decided that it is better to not alter an object within a method.

        Parameters:
        window - The window to calculate the center point for. This object can not be null.
        Returns:
        the Point at which the window should be placed to center that window on the screen.

      • getPointForCentering
