Retrieve ID of when fingers exist/active/removed about leapmotionp5

[schwittlick]

i am currently updating the library to the 0.7.4 version of the leap sdk. after this is settled i will get back to you and explain how you can achieve what you're looking for. till then you can do it by hand, by getting the current frame:

LeapMotionP5 leap = new LeapMotionP5(this);
Frame frame = leap.getFrame();
//with this you have access to all date from the leap. eg:
if (!frame.hands().empty()) {
            // Get the first hand
            Hand hand = frame.hands().get(0);
            // Check if the hand has any fingers
            FingerList fingers = hand.fingers();
            if (!fingers.empty()) {
                // Calculate the hand's average finger tip position
                for (Finger finger : fingers) {
                    Vector fingerPos = finger.tipPosition();
                    int id = finger.id();
                    // etc
                }
            }
}

the vector you get with that way is not yet mapped to the dimensions of your processing window though. so unless you dont want to get your hands dirty with the original leap sdk i suggest to wait until im done. i will try to include your needs as good as possible, i think they are indeed good features for the p5 lib.
the handEnter/handLeave/fingerEnter/fingerLeave events are going to be changed as well. i will let you know here how to access them in the future releases.
