RpNumber

The RpNumber is a class derived from the RpVariable class. A RpNumber contains the following data members:

• RpObject? RpAbout
• std::string path
• void* defaultVal
• void* currentVal
• RpUnits * units
• double min
• double max
• RpPreset? (not yet implemented)

The RpNumber class allows the user to define a rappture number object, setting the key values needed to create a gui from Rappture generated XML. All information is stored in the RpNumber object until it needs to be written to the XML file using the put() member function. The form of the resultant xml should follow that specified in Number
