Using the control panel and Toxi Processing Libraries in ruby processing

Here is a sketch that shows how easy it is to add controls to your sketch in ruby-processing.


#
# <p>GrayScottControl uses the seedImage() method to use a bitmap as simulation seed.
# In this demo the image is re-applied every frame and the user can adjust the
# F coefficient of the reaction diffusion to produce different patterns emerging
# from the boundary of the bitmapped seed. Unlike some other GS demos provided,
# this one also uses a wrapped simulation space, creating tiled patterns.</p>
#
# <p><strong>usage:</strong></p>
# <ul>
# <li>click + drag mouse to locally disturb the simulation</li>
# <li>Use slider to adjust the F parameter of the simulation</li>
# <li>press reset! to do what?</li>
# <li>press save_graycsott to do save</li>
# </ul>
