+torqueLayer.on('event-type', function([callback_obj]) {
+  // do something
+});
+```
+
+Events | Callback Object | Description

+`change:steps` | current step | When a map changes steps, this event is triggered
+`change:time` | current time, step number | When a map changes time, this event is triggered
+`play` | none | Triggered when the Torque layer is played
+`pause` | none | Triggered when the Torque layer is paused
+`stop` | none | Triggered when the Torque layer is stopped
+`load` | none | Triggered when the Torque layer is loaded
+

+```js
+// An event example to print the current step to the console log.
+
+torqueLayer.on('change:steps', function(step) {
+  // do something with step
+  console.log('Current step is ' + step);
+});
+```
