aerys-monitor library updated

The aerys-monitor is a small and lightweight library inspired of Mr.Doobs "stats" library. Here are the main features :

watch any property of any object of any class
customizable update rate
cutomizable per-property color
chart rendering for numeric values
watch framerate, memory and Flash Player version
ready to use framerate property

The Monitor class has been updated with the following changes :

Flash player version style is now called "version"
new property "backgroundColor" to change the background color of the monitor
new "framerate" to get the framerate of your application
the framerate and memory usage are now monitored by default

Here is a sample snippet to show how simple it is to use :

// get a singleton Monitor object
var monitor : Monitor = Monitor.monitor;
 
// set the update (refresh) rate to 15 updates per second
monitor.updateRate = 15.;
 
// add the monitor to the display list
stage.addChild(monitor);
 
// watch the rotationX property of the camera object with a scale value of 1 / (PI / 2)
monitor.watch(camera, "rotationX", 0x55ff00, 1. / (Math.PI / 2.), true);
// watch the rotationY property of the camera object with a scale value of 1 / (2 * PI)
monitor.watch(camera, "rotationY", 0xff5500, 1. / (2. * Math.PI), true);
// watch the rotationZ property of the camera object with no scale value (=&gt; no chart rendering)
monitor.watch(camera, "rotationZ", 0x5599ff);
 
// watch multiple properties
monitor.watchProperties(physics,
			["processingTime", "speed"],
			[0x00ff00, 0xff0000],
			[1. / 40., 1. / 10.]);
 
// change the background color (0xAARRGGBB)
monitor.backgroundColor = 0x7f000000;
