050 * This event is generated for a mouse wheel rotation. The wheel (the middle
051 * mouse button on most modern mice) can be rotated towards or away from the
052 * user, and is often used for scrolling.
053 *
054 * <p>Because of the special use for scrolling components, MouseWheelEvents
055 * often affect a different component than the one located at the point of
056 * the event. If the component under the mouse cursor does not accept wheel
057 * events, the event is passed to the first ancestor container which does. This
058 * is often a ScrollPane, which knows how to scroll. If an AWT component is
059 * built from a native widget that knows how to use mouse wheel events, that
060 * component will consume the event.
061 *
062 * <p>The two most common scroll types are "units" (lines at a time) or
063 * "blocks" (pages at a time). The initial setting is taken from the platform,
064 * although the user can adjust the setting at any time.
