# low level extension functions which work on a "ghost" handle to a
# SGPropertyNode object stored in the _g field.
#
# Not all of the features of SGPropertyNode are supported.  There is
# no support for ties, obviously, as that wouldn't make much sense
# from a Nasal context.  The various get/set methods work only on the
# local node, there is no equivalent of the "relative path" variants
# available in C++; just use node.getNode(path).whatever() instead.

 # Property / object update manager
 #
 # - Manage updates when a value has changed more than a predetermined amount.
 #   This class is designed to make updating displays (e.g. canvas), or
 #   performing actions based on a property (or value in a hash) changing
 #   by more than the preset amount.
 #   This can make a significant improvement to performance compared to simply
 #   redrawing a canvas in an update loop.
 # - Author       : Richard Harrison (rjh@zaretto.com)
 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

#example usage:
# this is using the hashlist (which works well with an Emesary notification)
# basically when the method is called it will call each section (in the lambda)
# when the value changes by more than the amount specified as the second parameter.
# It is possible to reference multiple elements from the hashlist in each FromHashList; if either
# one changes then it will result in the lambda being called.
