/**
* The listener interface for receiving mouse motion events on a component.
* (For clicks and other mouse events, use the MouseListener
.)
*
* 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 MouseMotionAdapter
class
* (overriding only the methods of interest).
*
* The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
* component using the component's addMouseMotionListener
* 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 MouseEvent
is passed to it.
