@section{description}
A link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: is a modular widget for showing the volume levels of inputs/outputs on the server. link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: can be embedded inside of your custom graphical user interfaces just like a button or slider.
@section{note}
If you are looking for a quick input/output levels display without having to build your own GUI from scratch, see link::Classes/ServerMeter:: and link::Classes/Server#-meter::

@section{CLASSMETHODS}
@section{METHOD}
height
Get the height in pixels of the standard link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: widget
@section{returns}
an link::Classes/Integer::
@section{METHOD}
getWidth
Get the width in pixels of a link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: widget with the given number of inputs and outputs
@section{ARGUMENT}
numIns
number of inputs used to calculate the width
@section{ARGUMENT}
numOuts
number of outputs used to calculate the width
@section{ARGUMENT}
server
the server
@section{returns}
an link::Classes/Integer::
@section{METHOD}
new
Create a new link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: instance
@section{ARGUMENT}
aserver
The link::Classes/Server:: whose inputs/outputs will be monitored
@section{ARGUMENT}
parent
The parent link::Classes/View:: or link::Classes/Window:: where the new link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: will be embedded.
@section{ARGUMENT}
leftUp
Where to position the new link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: inside the parent. strong::leftUp:: must be a link::Classes/Point::, describing where to place the upper left corner of the new link::Classes/ServerMeterView::.

@section{INSTANCEMETHODS}
@section{METHOD}
view
get the link::Classes/CompositeView:: used to construct the various elements of the link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: widget
@section{returns}
a link::Classes/CompositeView::
@section{METHOD}
remove
Removes this link::Classes/ServerMeterView:: from its parent view (if any) and then destroys it. Once this method is called you can no longer use this link::Classes/ServerMeterView::.
@section{METHOD}
start

Simple Usage
@racketblock[
// make a window and embed a ServerMeterView inside of it.
w = Window.new("Server Levels");
ServerMeterView.new(s, w, 0@0, 2, 2);
w.front; // show the window
::
]
@section{subsection}
A More Complex Example
@racketblock[
// make a GUI to monitor two servers running simultaneously
s = Server.local;
q = Server.internal;
s.boot; q.boot; // wait a moment for the servers to boot
// make a window big enough to hold 2 ServerMeterViews
r = Rect(0, 0, ServerMeterView.getWidth(2, 2) * 2, ServerMeterView.height)
w = Window.new("Local | Internal", r);
// make one ServerMeterView to monitor the input/output of each server
ServerMeterView.new(s, w, Point(0,0), 2, 2);
ServerMeterView.new(q, w, Point(ServerMeterView.getWidth(2,2), 0), 2, 2);
w.front; // show the window
