/**
 * This class creates a labeled button. The application can cause
 * some action to happen when the button is pushed. This image
 * depicts three views of a "<code>Quit</code>" button as it appears
 * under the Solaris operating system:
 * <p>
 * <img src="doc-files/Button-1.gif" alt="The following context describes the graphic"
 * ALIGN=center HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <p>
 * The first view shows the button as it appears normally.
 * The second view shows the button
 * when it has input focus. Its outline is darkened to let the
 * user know that it is an active object. The third view shows the
 * button when the user clicks the mouse over the button, and thus
 * requests that an action be performed.
 * <p>
 * The gesture of clicking on a button with the mouse
 * is associated with one instance of <code>ActionEvent</code>,
 * which is sent out when the mouse is both pressed and released
 * over the button. If an application is interested in knowing
 * when the button has been pressed but not released, as a separate
 * gesture, it can specialize <code>processMouseEvent</code>,
 * or it can register itself as a listener for mouse events by
 * calling <code>addMouseListener</code>. Both of these methods are
 * defined by <code>Component</code>, the abstract superclass of
 * all components.
 * <p>
 * When a button is pressed and released, AWT sends an instance
 * of <code>ActionEvent</code> to the button, by calling
 * <code>processEvent</code> on the button. The button's
 * <code>processEvent</code> method receives all events
 * for the button; it passes an action event along by
 * calling its own <code>processActionEvent</code> method.
 * The latter method passes the action event on to any action
 * listeners that have registered an interest in action
 * events generated by this button.
 * <p>
 * If an application wants to perform some action based on
 * a button being pressed and released, it should implement
 * <code>ActionListener</code> and register the new listener
 * to receive events from this button, by calling the button's
 * <code>addActionListener</code> method. The application can
 * make use of the button's action command as a messaging protocol.
