Point struct - .NET Framework

Hi,

Why does the framework NOT have a PointD and just a PointF, it would be
nice if it had a double versions of the structures and not just float.

Thanks.

The underlying coordinate system in GDI+ is based on floats. It makes no
sense to have a double because you can't use them without converting them
back to floats.
