12/** \class TTimer
13\ingroup Base
14
15Handles synchronous and a-synchronous timer events.
161. synchronous timer is registered into TSystem and is processed
17 within the standard ROOT event-loop.
182. asynchronous timer is passed to the operating system which sends
19 an external signal to ROOT and thus interrupts its event-loop.
20
21You can use this class in one of the following ways:
22 - Sub-class TTimer and override the Notify() method.
23 - Re-implement the TObject::HandleTimer() method in your class
24 and pass a pointer to this object to timer, see the SetObject()
25 method.
26 - Pass an interpreter command to timer, see SetCommand() method.
27 - Create a TTimer, connect its Timeout() signal to the
28 appropriate methods. Then when the time is up it will emit a
29 Timeout() signal and call connected slots.
30
31Minimum timeout interval is defined in TSystem::ESysConstants as
32`kItimerResolution` (currently 10 ms).
33
34Signal/slots example:
35~~~{.cpp}
36 TTimer *timer = new TTimer();
37 timer->Connect("Timeout()", "myObjectClassName",
38 myObject, "TimerDone()");
39 timer->Start(2000, kTRUE); // 2 seconds single-shot
40~~~
41To emit the Timeout signal repeatedly with minimum timeout:
42~~~ {.cpp}
43 timer->Start(0, kFALSE);
44~~~
