controlP5

## Class Textfield

- java.lang.Object
- - controlP5.Controller<Textfield>
  - - controlP5.Textfield

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    CDrawable, ControllerInterface<Textfield>, ControlP5Constants

      public class Textfield
      extends Controller<Textfield>

  A singleline input textfield, use arrow keys to go back and forth, use backspace to delete characters. Using the up and down arrows lets you cycle through the history of the textfield. This is the best you can get. Font handling, font switching, measuring, left align, right align, etc. was giving me a big headache. not perfect, i think this is a good compromise.

             * 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.
