# Piefiller

Graphical profiler for Love2D 0.10.2

# Usage

1) require the file:

```lua

  piefiller = require("piefiller")

```

2) make a new instance of piefiller

```lua

  Pie = piefiller:new()

```

3) attach the piefiller to the part of your application that you want to monitor, it can be whatever but I suggest calling it in love.update or love.draw as this is what piefiller is all about.

```lua

 function love.update()

	Pie:attach()

		-- do something

	Pie:detach()

 end

```

4) draw the output in your draw function and give event hooks for your pie.

```lua

 function love.draw()

	Pie:draw()

 end

 function love.keypressed(...)

 	Pie:keypressed(...)

 end

 function love.mousepressed(...)

 	Pie:mousepressed(...)

 end

```

5) When you get sufficient output press the "P" key to output to file.

# Keys

r 	= resets the pie 

up 	= decreases depth 

down 	= increases depth 

, 	= decreases step size 

.	= increases step size 

s	= shortens the names displayed

c	= hides/shows hidden processes

p	= saves to file called "Profile" and opens directory for you

## To redefine these:

Modes available:

```lua

reset

increase_depth

decrease_depth

increase_step_size

decrease_step_size

shorten_names

show_hidden

save_to_file

```

To redefine only one of the keys:

```lua

piefiller:setKey(mode,key)

```

example:

```lua

piefiller:setKey("increase_depth","up")

```

To redefine all of the keys:

```lua

	

table = {

	"increase_depth" = "up"

}

piefiller:setKey(table)

	

```

# For your own interpretation 

	If you wish to interpret the data on your own use piefiller:unpack().

	Output is a table as such:

	

```lua

	data = {

		items = { 

			{ 

				name,

				line_defined, 

				current_line,

				source,

				time_taken, 

				percentage,

				caller,

			}

		}, 

		about = {

			depth,

			step, 

			totalTime,

		}, 

	} 

```

	

# Additional notes

The best depth to search for is 2 and 3.

When used in large applications the output is difficult to read, however printing to file resolves this issue.

# Planned features

Make sure that text does not overlay.
