public class MouseEvent extends InputEvent
When a mouse event occurs, the top-most node under cursor is picked and the event is delivered to it through capturing and bubbling phases described at `EventDispatcher`.

The mouse (pointer's) location is available relative to several coordinate systems: x,y - relative to the origin of the MouseEvent's node, sceneX,sceneY - relative to to the origin of the `Scene` that contains the node, screenX,screenY - relative to origin of the screen that contains the mouse pointer.

## Dragging gestures

There are three types of dragging gestures. They are all initiated by a mouse press event and terminated as a result of a mouse released event, the source node decides which gesture will take place.

The simple press-drag-release gesture is default. It's best used to allow changing size of a shape, dragging it around and so on. Whole press-drag-release gesture is delivered to one node. When a mouse button is pressed, the top-most node is picked and all subsequent mouse events are delivered to the same node until the button is released. If a mouse clicked event is generated from these events, it is still delivered to the same node.

During simple press-drag-release gesture, the other nodes are not involved and don't get any events. If these nodes need to be involved in the gesture, full press-drag-release gesture has to be activated. This gesture is best used for connecting nodes by "wires", dragging nodes to other nodes etc. This gesture type is more closely described at `MouseDragEvent` which contains the events delivered to the gesture targets.

The third gesture type is platform-supported drag-and-drop gesture. It serves best to transfer data and works also between (not necessarily FX) applications. This gesture type is more closely described at `DragEvent`.

In a short summary, simple press-drag-release gesture is activated automatically when a mouse button is pressed and delivers all `MouseEvent`s to the gesture source. When you start dragging, eventually the `DRAG_DETECTED` event arrives. In its handler you can either start full press-drag-release gesture by calling `startFullDrag` method on a node or scene - the `MouseDragEvent`s start to be delivered to gesture targets, or you can start drag and drop gesture by calling `startDragAndDrop` method on a node or scene - the system switches into the drag and drop mode and `DragEvent`s start to be delivered instead of `MouseEvent`s. If you don't call any of those methods, the simple press-drag-release gesture continues.

Note that dragging a finger over touch screen produces mouse dragging events, but also scroll gesture events. If it means a conflict in an application (the physical dragging action is handled by two different handlers), the `isSynthesized()` method may be used to detect the problem and make the dragging handlers behave accordingly.

## Mouse enter/exit handling

When the mouse enters a node, the node gets `MOUSE_ENTERED` event, when it leaves, it gets `MOUSE_EXITED` event. These events are delivered only to the entered/exited node and seemingly don't go through the capturing/bubbling phases. This is the most common use-case.

When the capturing or bubbling is desired, there are `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET`/`MOUSE_EXITED_TARGET` events. These events go through capturing/bubbling phases normally. This means that parent may receive the `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET` event when the mouse entered either the parent itself or some of its children. To distinguish between these two cases, the event target can be tested on equality with the node.

These two types are closely connected: `MOUSE_ENTERED`/`MOUSE_EXITED` are subtypes of `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET`/`MOUSE_EXITED_TARGET`. During capturing phase, `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET` is delivered to the parents. When the event is delivered to the event target (the node that has actually been entered), its type is switched to `MOUSE_ENTERED`. Then the type is switched back to `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET` for the bubbling phase. It's still one event just switching types, so if it's filtered or consumed, it affects both event variants. Thanks to the subtype-relationship, a `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET` event handler will receive the `MOUSE_ENTERED` event on target.

- ## Field Details

  - ### ANY

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> ANY
    Common supertype for all mouse event types.

  - ### MOUSE_PRESSED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_PRESSED
    This event occurs when a mouse button is pressed. This activates a press-drag-release gesture, so all subsequent mouse events until the button is released are delivered to the same node.

  - ### MOUSE_RELEASED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_RELEASED
    This event occurs when a mouse button is released. It is delivered to the same node where the button has been pressed which activated a press-drag-release gesture.

  - ### MOUSE_CLICKED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_CLICKED
    This event occurs when a mouse button has been clicked (pressed and released on the same node). This event provides a button-like behavior to any node. Note that even long drags can generate click event (it is delivered to the top-most node on which the mouse was both pressed and released).

  - ### MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET
    This event occurs when the mouse enters a node. It's the bubbling variant, which is delivered also to all parents of the entered node (unless it was consumed). When notifications about mouse entering some of node's children are not desired, `MOUSE_ENTERED` event handler should be used.
    See Also:
      - `MouseEvent for more information about mouse entered/exited handling`

  - ### MOUSE_ENTERED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_ENTERED
    This event occurs when the mouse enters a node. This event type is delivered only to the entered node, if parents want to filter it or get the bubbling event, they need to use `MOUSE_ENTERED_TARGET`.
    See Also:
      - `MouseEvent for more information about mouse entered/exited handling`

  - ### MOUSE_EXITED_TARGET

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_EXITED_TARGET
    This event occurs when the mouse exits a node. It's the bubbling variant, which is delivered also to all parents of the exited node (unless it was consumed). When notifications about mouse exiting some of node's children are not desired, `MOUSE_EXITED` event handler should be used.
    See Also:
      - `MouseEvent for more information about mouse entered/exited handling`

  - ### MOUSE_EXITED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_EXITED
    This event occurs when the mouse exits a node. This event type is delivered only to the exited node, if parents want to filter it or get the bubbling event, they need to use `MOUSE_EXITED_TARGET`.
    See Also:
      - `MouseEvent for more information about mouse entered/exited handling`

  - ### MOUSE_MOVED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_MOVED
    This event occurs when the mouse moves within a node and no buttons are pressed. If any mouse button is pressed, MOUSE_DRAGGED event occurs instead.

  - ### MOUSE_DRAGGED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> MOUSE_DRAGGED
    This event occurs when the mouse moves with a pressed button. It is delivered to the same node where the button has been pressed which activated a press-drag-release gesture. It is delivered regardless of the mouse being within bounds of the node.

  - ### DRAG_DETECTED

    public static final EventType<MouseEvent> DRAG_DETECTED
    This event is delivered to a node that is identified as a source of a dragging gesture. Handler of this event is the only place where full press-drag-release gesture or a drag and drop gesture can be started (by calling `startFullDrag()` of `startDragAndDrop()` method). If none of them is called, simple press-drag-release gesture will continue.

    Note that his event is generated based on dragging the mouse over a platform-specific distance threshold. You can modify this behavior by calling `setDragDetect` method on any MOUSE_PRESSED or MOUSE_DRAGGED event.

  - ### isStillSincePress

    public final boolean isStillSincePress()
    Indicates whether the mouse cursor stayed in the system-provided hysteresis area since last pressed event that occurred before this event.

    Click event is generated for a node if mouse was both pressed and released over the node, regardless of mouse movements between the press and release. If a node wants to react differently on a simple click and on a mouse drag, it should use a system-supplied short distance threshold to decide between click and drag (users often perform inadvertent tiny movements during a click). It can be easily achieved by ignoring all drags with this method returning `true` and ignoring all clicks with this method returning `false`.

    Returns:
      true if there were no significant mouse movements (out of system hysteresis area) since the last pressed event that occurred before this event.

  - ### isShiftDown

    public final boolean isShiftDown()
    Whether or not the Shift modifier is down on this event.
    Returns:
      true if the Shift modifier is down on this event

  - ### isControlDown

    public final boolean isControlDown()
    Whether or not the Control modifier is down on this event.
    Returns:
      true if the Control modifier is down on this event

  - ### isAltDown

    public final boolean isAltDown()
    Whether or not the Alt modifier is down on this event.
    Returns:
      true if the Alt modifier is down on this event

  - ### isMetaDown

    public final boolean isMetaDown()
    Whether or not the Meta modifier is down on this event.
    Returns:
      true if the Meta modifier is down on this event

  - ### isSynthesized

    public boolean isSynthesized()
    Indicates whether this event is synthesized from using a touch screen instead of usual mouse event source devices like mouse or track pad. When a finger is dragged over a touch screen, both scrolling gesture and mouse dragging are produced. If it causes a conflict in an application, this flag can be used to tell apart the usual mouse dragging from the touch screen dragging already handled as scroll events.
    Returns:
      true if this event is synthesized from using a touch screen

  - ### isShortcutDown

    public final boolean isShortcutDown()
    Returns whether or not the host platform common shortcut modifier is down on this event. This common shortcut modifier is a modifier key which is used commonly in shortcuts on the host platform. It is for example `control` on Windows and `meta` (command key) on Mac.
    Returns:
      `true` if the shortcut modifier is down, `false` otherwise

  - ### isPopupTrigger

    public final boolean isPopupTrigger()
    Returns `true` if this mouse event is the popup menu trigger event for the platform.

    Note: Popup menus are triggered differently on different systems. Therefore, `popupTrigger` should be checked in both `onMousePressed` and `mouseReleased` for proper cross-platform functionality.

    Returns:
      `true` if this mouse event is the popup menu trigger event for the platform
    Since:
      JavaFX 8.0

  - ### isPrimaryButtonDown

    public final boolean isPrimaryButtonDown()
    Returns `true` if primary button (button 1, usually the left) is currently pressed. Note that this is different from the `getButton()` method that indicates which button press was responsible for this event while this method indicates whether the primary button is depressed.
    Returns:
      `true` if primary button (button 1, usually the left) is currently pressed

  - ### isSecondaryButtonDown

    public final boolean isSecondaryButtonDown()
    Returns `true` if secondary button (button 3, usually the right) is currently pressed. Note that this is different from the `getButton()` method that indicates which button press was responsible for this event while this method indicates whether the secondary button is depressed.
    Returns:
      `true` if secondary button (button 3, usually the right) is currently pressed

  - ### isMiddleButtonDown

    public final boolean isMiddleButtonDown()
    Returns `true` if middle button (button 2) is currently pressed. Note that this is different from the `getButton()` method that indicates which button press was responsible for this event while this method indicates whether the middle button is depressed.
    Returns:
      `true` if middle button (button 2) is currently pressed

  - ### isBackButtonDown

    public final boolean isBackButtonDown()
    Returns `true` if back button (button 4) is currently pressed. Note that this is different from the `getButton()` method that indicates which button press was responsible for this event while this method indicates whether the back button is depressed.
    Returns:
      `true` if back button (button 4) is currently pressed
    Since:
      12

  - ### isForwardButtonDown

    public final boolean isForwardButtonDown()
    Returns `true` if forward button (button 5) is currently pressed. Note that this is different from the `getButton()` method that indicates which button press was responsible for this event while this method indicates whether the back button is depressed.
    Returns:
      `true` if forward button (button 5) is currently pressed
    Since:
      12

  - ### toString

    public String toString()
    Returns a string representation of this `MouseEvent` object.
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `EventObject`
    Returns:
      a string representation of this `MouseEvent` object.

  - ### getPickResult

    public final PickResult getPickResult()
    Returns information about the pick.
