      • pause

        public final boolean pause()
        Pauses the current thread
        Returns:
        true if the thread was successfully paused and false if the thread was already paused

      • unpause

        public final void unpause()
        Resumes the current thread

      • checkPause

        protected final void checkPause()
        This method should be called within the main run loop. If this isn't called then the thread will not be paused. An example of an implementation could be: 
              class MyThread extends PThread {
          @Override
          public void run() {
              //Init code
              while(!interrupted() && condition){
                   checkPause();
                   //Loop code
              }
              //End code
          }
      }
