controlP5

Class Bang

java.lang.Object

controlP5.Controller<Bang>

controlP5.Bang

All Implemented Interfaces:

CDrawable, ControllerInterface<Bang>, ControlP5Constants

public class Bang
extends Controller<Bang>

The Bang controller triggers an event when pressed. A bang can only be assigned to a function in your program but not to a field like other controllers. Bang extends superclass Controller, for a full documentation see the Controller reference.

+Example

/**
 * ControlP5 Bang
 * A bang triggers an event that can be received by a function named after the bang.
 * By default a bang is triggered when pressed, this can be changed to 'release' 
 * using theBang.setTriggerEvent(Bang.RELEASE).
 *
 * find a list of public methods available for the Bang Controller 
 * at the bottom of this sketch.

Bang

public Bang(ControlP5 theControlP5,

Convenience constructor to extend Bang.

Parameters:

+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.

Method Detail

getInfo

public java.lang.String getInfo()

Overrides:

getInfo in class Controller<Bang>

Returns:

String

getTriggerEvent

public int getTriggerEvent()

setTriggerEvent

public Bang setTriggerEvent(int theEventID)

By default a bang is triggered when the mouse is pressed. use setTriggerEvent(Bang.PRESSED) or setTriggerEvent(Bang.RELEASE) to define the action for triggering a bang. currently only Bang.PRESSED and Bang.RELEASE are supported.

Parameters:

theEventID -

Returns:

Bang

setValue

public Bang setValue(float theValue)

Sets the value of the bang controller. since bang can be true or false, false=0 and true=1

Specified by:

setValue in interface ControllerInterface<Bang>

Overrides:

setValue in class Controller<Bang>

Parameters:

theValue - float

Returns:

Bang

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Controller<Bang>

update

public Bang update()

Description copied from class: Controller

updates the value of the controller without having to set the value explicitly. update does not visually update the controller. the updating status can be set with setUpdate(true/false) and checked with isUpdate().

Specified by:

update in interface ControllerInterface<Bang>

Overrides:

update in class Controller<Bang>

Returns:

Controller

See Also:

Controller.setUpdate(boolean), Controller.isUpdate()

updateDisplayMode

public Bang updateDisplayMode(int theMode)

updateViewMode

public Bang updateViewMode(int theMode)
