/**
* 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.
