// <etymology>
// "PixelCanvasEvents" describes "Events" (ie. things which happen at a 
// measurable time) which occur on PixelCanvases.
// </etymology>

// <prerequisite>
// <li> <linkto class=DisplayEvent>DisplayEvent</linkto>
// </prerequisite>

// <synopsis>
// This class adds to the information stored in the <linkto
// class=DisplayEvent>DisplayEvent</linkto> class.  It adds
// information specific to events occuring on PixelCanvases, viz.
// a pointer to the PixelCanvas itself.
// </synopsis>

// <example>

// <motivation>
// It is desirable to locate in a single place the information which
// is common to all events occuring on PixelCanvases.

// <thrown>
// None.
