/**

 * The listener interface for receiving mouse motion events on a component.

 * (For clicks and other mouse events, use the <code>MouseListener</code>.)

 * <P>

 * The class that is interested in processing a mouse motion event

 * either implements this interface (and all the methods it

 * contains) or extends the abstract <code>MouseMotionAdapter</code> class

 * (overriding only the methods of interest).

 * <P>

 * The listener object created from that class is then registered with a

 * component using the component's <code>addMouseMotionListener</code>

 * method. A mouse motion event is generated when the mouse is moved

 * or dragged. (Many such events will be generated). When a mouse motion event

 * occurs, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and

 * the <code>MouseEvent</code> is passed to it.
