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