Does anybody know in what way the command ControllerManipulate can be used? The help function says that it gives the same as Manipulate, but without a controlling slider or so. The controller would be outside. But what kind of controller is meant then? In other words, how can one control the result of ControllerManipulate? Does anybody have an example?
I believe by “external controller device” it means something like a gamepad with a joystick (think xbox controller), not a control within the notebook outside of the specific manipulate object.
See this guide on Gamepad and Device Interface, you’ll notice ControllerManipulate is listed here.
Are looking for something specific that you thought ControllerManipulate could accomplish?
Thank you Kyle for your quick answer. If the help function of Mathematica would have provided some more information, e.g. a reference to the things you pointed at, I would not have been frustrated and not have been forced to bother you. I think Mathematica is a wonderful program. But improving the clarity of its help function would certainly greatly increase its popularity and widen its use.
At this moment I don’t have an application for the use of ControllerManipulate. I just hit at the existence of it. And in such cases I am used to try to find out what I can do with it.
Thanks again!
