What is the meaning of Event consumes in JavaFX : <p>I was trying to understand <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/events-tutorial/processing.htm#CEGJCICG" rel="noreferrer">Event Handling in JavaFX</a> and there I found this line.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The route can be modified as event filters and event handlers along
  the route process the event. Also, if an event filter or event handler
  consumes the event at any point, some nodes on the initial route might
  not receive the event.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Can you explain what is the meaning of event consumes?</p>
