* right. For example, columns could be displayed from right to left to
* accommodate a locale preference or some columns might be hidden at the
* request of the user. Because the model does not know how the columns
* are laid out on screen, the given <code>xPosition</code> should not be
* considered to be a coordinate in 2D graphics space. Instead, it should
* be considered to be a width from the start of the first column in the
* model. If the column index for a given X coordinate in 2D space is
* required, <code>JTable.columnAtPoint</code> can be used instead.
