The following illustrates use of MouseMotionListener on AWT Frame. MouseMotionListener listens to mouse moved and dragged events which fall under MouseEvent.
Mouse dragging is moving it in the pressing state typically used in drag and drop
me.getX(): This method gets the x co-ordinate of the pointer.
me.getY(): This method gets the y co-ordinate of the pointer.
FrameMouseMotionListener(): This contains the code illustrating MouseMotionListener with AWT Frame.
new FrameMouseMotionListener(): This statement creates object for the class.
