/**

 * 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.
