+# gui-dat
+**gui-dat** is a lightweight controller library for JavaScript. It allows you to easily manipulate variables and fire functions on the fly.
+## Basic Usage
+    <script type="text/javascript" src="demo/demo.js"></script>
+    <script type="text/javascript">
+
+    window.onload = function() {
+
+       var fizzyText = new FizzyText("gui-dat");
+
+       GUI.start();
+   
+       // Text field
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "message");
+
+       // Sliders with min and max
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "maxSize", 0.5, 7);
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "growthSpeed", 0.01, 1);
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "speed", 0.1, 2);
+   
+       // Sliders with min, max and increment
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "noiseStrength", 10, 100, 5);
+   
+       // Boolean checkbox
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "displayOutline");
+
+       // Fires a function called "explode"
+       GUI.add(fizzyText, "explode").name("Explode!"); // Specify a custom name.
+   
+    };
+
+    </script>
++   ui-dat will infer the type of the property you're trying to add (based on its initial value) and create the corresponding control.
++   The properties must be public, i.e. defined by `this.prop = value`.
+
+Monitor variable changes <i>outside</i> of the GUI
+--------------------------------------------------
+Let's say you have a variable that changes by itself from time to time. If you'd like the GUI to reflect those changes, use the listen() method
+    GUI.add(obj, "propName").listen();
+## Fire a function when someone uses a control
+    GUI.add(obj, "propName").onChange(function(n) {
+        alert("You changed me to " + n);
+    });
