/**
 * An event which indicates a change to the <code>Component</code>
 * hierarchy to which a <code>Component</code> belongs.
 * <ul>
 * <li>Hierarchy Change Events (HierarchyListener)
 *     <ul>
 *     <li> addition of an ancestor
 *     <li> removal of an ancestor
 *     <li> hierarchy made displayable
 *     <li> hierarchy made undisplayable
 *     <li> hierarchy shown on the screen (both visible and displayable)
 *     <li> hierarchy hidden on the screen (either invisible or undisplayable)
 *     </ul>
 * <li>Ancestor Reshape Events (HierarchyBoundsListener)
 *     <ul>
 *     <li> an ancestor was resized
 *     <li> an ancestor was moved
 *     </ul>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Hierarchy events are provided for notification purposes ONLY.
 * The AWT will automatically handle changes to the hierarchy internally so
 * that GUI layout and displayability works properly regardless of whether a
 * program is receiving these events or not.
 * <p>
 * This event is generated by a Container object (such as a Panel) when the
 * Container is added, removed, moved, or resized, and passed down the
 * hierarchy. It is also generated by a Component object when that object's
 * <code>addNotify</code>, <code>removeNotify</code>, <code>show</code>, or
 * <code>hide</code> method is called. ANCESTOR_MOVED and ANCESTOR_RESIZED
 * events are dispatched to every <code>HierarchyBoundsListener</code> or
 * <code>HierarchyBoundsAdapter</code> object which registered to receive
 * such events using the Component's <code>addHierarchyBoundsListener</code>
 * method. (<code>HierarchyBoundsAdapter</code> objects implement the <code>
 * HierarchyBoundsListener</code> interface.) HIERARCHY_CHANGED events are
 * dispatched to every <code>HierarchyListener</code> object which registered
 * to receive such events using the Component's <code>addHierarchyListener
 * </code> method. Each such listener object gets this <code>HierarchyEvent
 * </code> when the event occurs.
