Description

Design and implement components to edit material values (vectors etc). I think we are mainly missing editors for matrices and vectors. And int & float arrays and array vectors. It is difficult for a new comer to understand how to input these values. Like the decimal separator is always "." and what is a vector separator etc...

Challenge is to design components that provide ease to use but also efficient for those who'd just prefer to write the value quickly.

These are distributed from com.jme3.gde.materials.multiview.widgets.WidgetFactory.

Research direction

Start by reading the material editor components distributed from com.jme3.gde.materials.multiview.widgets.WidgetFactory and compare how current values are entered. Define the supported vector, matrix, integer-array, float-array, and array-vector formats, including separators and decimal notation. Done means the components are usable for both guided input and quick value entry.
