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.
Invoked when a mouse button is pressed on a component and then
dragged. Mouse drag events will continue to be delivered to
the component where the first originated until the mouse button is
released (regardless of whether the mouse position is within the
bounds of the component).
