You have to ask?

Because either you always initialise your Point with parameters in the same 
order, in which case just use positional parameters which is cleaner 
anyway, or when you have a function f(somePoint) you also need to know 
whether it takes a Point(width,height) or a Point(height,width) and if you 
get it wrong your code breaks.
