Additional Notes

the point input control yields confusing values.

don't expect the point control to return pixel values, instead it returns the proportion of the frame from the centre. So a selecting point at the top right edge of frame yields {-0.5, 0.5}. Even though the user sees pixel values in the control box.

It's quite clever really, but a bit confusing.
