  33  * An event which indicates that the mouse wheel was rotated in a component.
  34  * <P>
  35  * A wheel mouse is a mouse which has a wheel in place of the middle button.
  36  * This wheel can be rotated towards or away from the user.  Mouse wheels are
  37  * most often used for scrolling, though other uses are possible.
  38  * <P>
  39  * A MouseWheelEvent object is passed to every <code>MouseWheelListener</code>
  40  * object which registered to receive the "interesting" mouse events using the
  41  * component's <code>addMouseWheelListener</code> method.  Each such listener
  42  * object gets a <code>MouseEvent</code> containing the mouse event.
  43  * <P>
  44  * Due to the mouse wheel's special relationship to scrolling Components,
  45  * MouseWheelEvents are delivered somewhat differently than other MouseEvents.
  46  * This is because while other MouseEvents usually affect a change on
  47  * the Component directly under the mouse
  48  * cursor (for instance, when clicking a button), MouseWheelEvents often have
  49  * an effect away from the mouse cursor (moving the wheel while
  50  * over a Component inside a ScrollPane should scroll one of the


  82  * The {@link #getWheelRotation} method returns the integer number
  83  * of "clicks" corresponding to the number of notches by which the wheel was
  84  * rotated. In addition to this method, the <code>MouseWheelEvent</code>
  85  * class provides the {@link #getPreciseWheelRotation} method which returns
  86  * a double number of "clicks" in case a partial rotation occurred.
  87  * The {@link #getPreciseWheelRotation} method is useful if a mouse supports
  88  * a high-resolution wheel, such as a freely rotating wheel with no
  89  * notches. Applications can benefit by using this method to process
  90  * mouse wheel events more precisely, and thus, making visual perception
  91  * smoother.
