WP_Internal_Pointers WordPress Class

The WP_Internal_Pointers class is a helper class that provides an easy way to create and display internal pointers. Internal pointers are used to help guide users through the WordPress admin interface. They are typically used to highlight new features or changes to the interface. This class makes it easy to create and display internal pointers. It includes methods for setting the pointer content, position, and target. It also provides a way to automatically display pointers when a user visits the WordPress admin interface for the first time.
