example
=======

```javascript
var multimeter = require('multimeter');
var multi = multimeter(process);

multi.drop(function (bar) {
var iv = setInterval(function () {
var p = bar.percent();
bar.percent(p + 1);

if (p >= 100) clearInterval(iv);
}, 25);
});
``

methods
=======

var multimeter = require('multimeter');

var multi = multimeter(stream, ...)
-----------------------------------

Create a new multimeter handle on the supplied stream/process objects, which
will be passed directly to charm.

If you pass in a charm object that will be used instead of creating a new one.

var bar = multi(x, y, params)
-----------------------------

Create a new progress bar at (x,y) with params which default to:

* width : 10
* before : '['
* after : '] '
* solid : { background : 'blue', foreground : 'white', text : '|' }
* empty : { background : null, foreground : null, text : ' ' }

If y is negative or '-0' it will be treated as a relative coordinate.

var bar = multi.rel(x, y, params)
---------------------------------

Create a new progress bar at an absolute x and relative y coordinate with
respect to the present multi.offset.

multi.drop(params, cb)
----------------------

Create a new progress bar at the present cursor location. The bar object will
be passed to cb(bar) once the cursor location has been determined.

multi.on(...), multi.removeListener(...), multi.destroy(...), multi.write(...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call event emitter functions on the underlying charm object.

multi.offset
------------

This getter/setter controls the positioning for relative progress bars.

Increment this value whenever you write a newline to the stream to prevent the
pending progress bars from drifting down from their original positions.

bar.percent(p, msg=p + ' %')
----------------------------

Update the progress bar to p percent, a value between 0 and 100, inclusive.

The text to the right of the progress bar will be set to msg.

bar.ratio(n, d, msg=n + ' / ' + d)
----------------------------------

Update the progress bar with a ratio, n/d.

The text to the right of the progress bar will be set to msg`.

attributes

multi.charm

The charm object used internally to
draw the progress bars.
