Control

Control[{u, dom}]
represents an interactive control for the variable u in the domain dom, with the type of control chosen to be appropriate for the domain specified.

Control[{{u, u_init}, dom}]
represents a control with initial value u_init.

MORE INFORMATION

Control supports the following variable and domain specifications:

	{u,u_min,u_max}	manipulator (slider, animator, etc.)
	{u,u_min,u_max,du}	discrete manipulator with step du
	{u,{x_min,y_min},{x_max,y_max}}	2D slider
	{u,{u₁,u₂,...}}	setter bar for few elements; popup menu for more
	{u,{u₁->lab₁,u₂->lab₂,...}}	setter bar or popup menu with labels for elements
	{u,{True,False}}	checkbox
	{u,color}	color slider
	{u}	blank input field
	{u,func}	an arbitrary control from a function
	{{u,u_init},...}	use initial value u_init
	{{u,u_init,u_lbl},...}	include label u_lbl
	{{u,...},...,opts}	use the specified control options

The variable u in Control[{u, ...}] is automatically treated as a Dynamic object.
