Class Textarea

java.lang.Object

controlP5.ControllerGroup<Textarea>

controlP5.Textarea

All Implemented Interfaces:

ControllerInterface<Textarea>, ControlListener, ControlP5Constants

public class Textarea
extends ControllerGroup<Textarea>
implements ControlListener

a textarea can be used to leave notes, it uses the controlP5 BitFont to render text. Scrollbars will automatically be added when text extends the visible area. Textarea extends ControllerGroup, for more methods available see the ControllerGroup documentation.

Constructor Detail

Textarea

public Textarea(ControlP5 theControlP5,
                java.lang.String theName)

Convenience constructor to extend Textarea.

Parameters:

theControlP5 -

theName -

+Example

/**
 * ControlP5 extending Controllers
 *
 * the following example shows how to extend the Controller class to 
 * create customizable Controllers. You can either extend the Controller class itself,
 * or any class that extends Controller itself like the Slider, Button, DropdownList, etc. 
 * 
 * How to:
 *
 * 1) do a super call to the convenience constructor requiring 
 * 2 parameter (ControlP5 instance, name)  
 *
 * 2) the Controller class has a set of empty methods that allow you to capture
 * inputs from the mouse including 
 * onEnter(), onLeave(), onPress(), onRelease(), onClick(), onScroll(int), onDrag()
 * These you can override and include functionality as needed.
 *
 * 3) use method getPointer() to return the local (relative) 
 * xy-coordinates of the controller
 *  
 * 4) after instantiation custom controllers are treated the same 
 * as default controlP5 controllers.
