	cout << "brightness: " << color->getBrightness() << endl; // brightness: 255

	// but that's read only so always we change an object the internal event
	// in the ofParameter is triggered. Trying to do this, will fail to compile:

	//color->set(127);
	//color->a = 127;

	// instead we need to do:
	color = ofColor(127,127);
	cout << color.getName() << ": " << color << endl; // color: 127, 127, 127, 127
	cout << "brightness: " << color->getBrightness() << endl; // brightness: 127

	// arithmetic operators will work though:
	cout << color.getName() << ": " << color << endl; // color: 127, 127, 127, 127
	color*=.5;
	cout << color.getName() << ": " << color << endl; // color: 255, 255, 255, 127




	// ofParameter has shallow copy semantics
	a.set("a",5,0,10);
	ofParameter<int> reference(a);

	cout << reference.getName() << ": " << reference << endl;  // a: 5

	incrementParam(reference);
	cout << reference.getName() << ": " << reference << endl;  // a: 6
	cout << a.getName() << ": " << a << endl;  				   // a: 6


	// to avoid confusion when doing assignments and arithmetic operations
	// the = operator only copies the value
	b.set("b",0,0,10);
	b = a;
	cout << b.getName() << ": " << b << endl;  // b: 6

	// if you want to make a reference:
	b.makeReferenceTo(a);
	cout << b.getName() << ": " << b << endl;  // a: 6
