MapMouseEventDispatcher (Geotools modules 34-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

EventListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultMapMouseEventDispatcher
```
public interface MapMouseEventDispatcher
extends MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener
```
Takes Java AWT mouse events received by a map pane and converts them to MapMouseEvents which add world location data. The resulting events are then dispatched to MapMouseListeners by the methods overriden from the AWT listener interfaces.

Since:

8.0
