/**
* An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse motion events.
* The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as
* convenience for creating listener objects.
* <P>
* Mouse motion events occur when a mouse is moved or dragged.
* (Many such events will be generated in a normal program.
* To track clicks and other mouse events, use the MouseAdapter.)
* <P>
* Extend this class to create a <code>MouseEvent</code> listener
* and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the
* <code>MouseMotionListener</code> interface, you have to define all of
* the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them
* all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)
* <P>
* Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with
* a component using the component's <code>addMouseMotionListener</code>
* method. When the mouse is moved or dragged, the relevant method in the
* listener object is invoked and the <code>MouseEvent</code> is passed to it.
