  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setMessageOutputLevel

          public void setMessageOutputLevel(int level)

      Sets the highest level of message this logger should respond to. Only messages with a message level lower than or equal to the given level should be written to the log.

      Constants for the message levels are in the `Project` class. The order of the levels, from least to most verbose, is `MSG_ERR`, `MSG_WARN`, `MSG_INFO`, `MSG_VERBOSE`, `MSG_DEBUG`.

      The default message level for DefaultLogger is Project.MSG_ERR.

        `level` - the logging level for the logger.
