	 * INSTRUCTIONS
	 * - parameters (input, circleSize, margin, startY, endY, font, fontSize, lineHeight, backgroundColor, backgroundAlpha)
	 * 				- input: 		The text that should be placed in the roundedtextfield
	 * 				- circlesize:		The size of the circle (from center to side, so 75 gives a circle of 150px)
	 * 				- margin:		The margin in px from the sides of the circle to the text
	 * 				- startY:		topmargin (snaps to textfield's height)
	 * 				- endY:			bottomMargin (snaps to textfield's height)
	 * 				- font:			font used in the textfield
	 * 				- fontSize: 		size of the font in px
	 * 				- lineHeight:		height of a line of text
	 * 				- backgroundColor:	color of the circle (0xRRGGBB)
	 * 				- backgroundAlpha:	alpha of the circle (0 - 1)
	 * 				- animate		(boolean) should the clip animate in?
	 * //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	 * SPECIALS
	 * - %newline% in input for a linebreak (dont work on autosize)
	 * - circlesize to "-1" for autoSize
