/**
 * ControlP5 Properties 
 *
 *
 * saves controller values to a properties-file
 * loads controller values from a properties-file
 *
 * Properties will only save values not the Controller itself.
 * 
 * Also take a look at the use/ControlP5snapshot example to 
 * save controller values to memory.
 *
 * Use ControllerProperties to load and save serialized controller properties 
 * to a properties file. 
 * The controllers implementing save/load properties so far are 
 * Slider, Knob, Numberbox, Toggle, Checkbox, RadioButton, Textlabel, 
 * Matrix, Range, Textarea, ListBox, Dropdown, ColorPicker. 
 * Properties are currently saved in the java serialization format.
 *
 * saveProperties(String theFilename) and loadProperties(String theFilename) 
 * by default properties will be saved to your sketch folder as controlP5.ser
 * if that file already exists it will be overwritten. for custom property files
 * see the comments inside keyPressed() below.
 *
 * find a list of public methods available for the ControllerProperties class 
 * at the bottom of this sketch's source code
 *
 * default properties load/save key combinations are 
 * alt+shift+l to load properties
 * alt+shift+s to save properties
