know about a library

Hi,

Im starting with processing and Im trying to learn about libraries. I've downloaded ControlIP5, and I see that it is a really huge library. I supose I will only use a few classes and methods from this library, but I need to find how each method works. Methods and classes desciptions. I read the references and I only find examples. Is there a place where I can find something as: this method receive theese parameters and do this. And the source font of each method?

Thanks. I already had read this but I think I had a mistaken idea about its structure so I didn´t understand. I have to spend more time analyzinng examples.

I guess I can only see a brief description of each class and method, and examples of it's use, but not the font code nor a deep description

I don't know what you call "font code".
There is a src folder in the controlP5 library, it contains the source code of the library, if that's what you look for.
The quality of the documentation depends on the amount of work of the coder on this topic, and often conflicts with the amount of work that can be done on the library itself... (most of this is done on free time).
So the doc vary from none at all (rare) to something very detailed (not often enough) and is often on the terse side...

Indeed, taking a look at the source code often reveals more than the JavaDoc itself... (and can be more up to date!)

Thanks. "font code" was a mistake in my english. Source in spanish is "fuente", I translated wrong as font.
