Detailed Description

       QwtSystemClock provides high resolution clock time functions.

       Sometimes the resolution offered by QTime ( millisecond ) is not accurate enough for implementing time
       measurements ( f.e. sampling ). QwtSystemClock offers a subset of the QTime functionality using higher
       resolution timers ( if possible ).

       Precision and time intervals are multiples of milliseconds (ms).

       Note:
           The implementation uses high-resolution performance counter on Windows, mach_absolute_time() on the
           Mac or POSIX timers on other systems. If none is available it falls back on QTimer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   QwtSystemClock::QwtSystemClock ()
       Constructs a null clock object.

   QwtSystemClock::~QwtSystemClock () [virtual]
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   double QwtSystemClock::elapsed () const Returns:
           Number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the last time start() or restart() was called or 0.0
           for null clocks.

   bool QwtSystemClock::isNull () const Returns:
           true if the clock has never been started.

   double QwtSystemClock::precision () [static] Returns:
           Accuracy of the system clock in milliseconds.

   double QwtSystemClock::restart () The start time to the current time and return the time, that is elapsed
       since the previous start time.
   void QwtSystemClock::start () Sets the start time to the current time.
