Project Title: Knob
Programming Language: JavaScript
Date Created: 2022-08-28

Purpose: To provide a behavior class for a knob user interface component.

Description: The knob is a user interface behavior class for providing a rotational alternative to a value slider. Knobs are commonly used in musically applications, and can occupy less space than a value slider.

The knob works by dragging the handle in the circular motion or by click-and-drag from the center of the knob along an x/y axis. The knob auto detects your axis of choice.
