    \class QTimer

    \brief The QTimer class provides repetitive and single-shot timers.

    \ingroup events

    The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface for

    timers. To use it, create a QTimer, connect its timeout() signal

    to the appropriate slots, and call start(). From then on it will

    emit the timeout() signal at constant intervals.

    Example for a one second (1000 millisecond) timer (from the

    \l{widgets/analogclock}{Analog Clock} example):

    \snippet examples/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 4

    \snippet examples/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 5

    \snippet examples/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 6

    From then on, the \c update() slot is called every second.

    You can set a timer to time out only once by calling

    setSingleShot(true). You can also use the static

    QTimer::singleShot() function to call a slot after a specified

    interval:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/timers/timers.cpp 3

    In multithreaded applications, you can use QTimer in any thread

    that has an event loop. To start an event loop from a non-GUI

    thread, use QThread::exec(). Qt uses the timer's

    \l{QObject::thread()}{thread affinity} to determine which thread

    will emit the \l{QTimer::}{timeout()} signal. Because of this, you

    must start and stop the timer in its thread; it is not possible to

    start a timer from another thread.

    As a special case, a QTimer with a timeout of 0 will time out as

    soon as all the events in the window system's event queue have

    been processed. This can be used to do heavy work while providing

    a snappy user interface:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/timers/timers.cpp 4

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/timers/timers.cpp 5

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/timers/timers.cpp 6

    \c processOneThing() will from then on be called repeatedly. It

    should be written in such a way that it always returns quickly

    (typically after processing one data item) so that Qt can deliver

    events to widgets and stop the timer as soon as it has done all

    its work. This is the traditional way of implementing heavy work

    in GUI applications; multithreading is now becoming available on

    more and more platforms, and we expect that zero-millisecond

    QTimers will gradually be replaced by \l{QThread}s.

    \section1 Accuracy and Timer Resolution

    Timers will never time out earlier than the specified timeout value

    and they are not guaranteed to time out at the exact value specified.

    In many situations, they may time out late by a period of time that

    depends on the accuracy of the system timers.

    The accuracy of timers depends on the underlying operating system

    and hardware. Most platforms support a resolution of 1 millisecond,

    though the accuracy of the timer will not equal this resolution

    in many real-world situations.

    If Qt is unable to deliver the requested number of timer clicks,

    it will silently discard some.

    \section1 Alternatives to QTimer

    An alternative to using QTimer is to call QObject::startTimer()

    for your object and reimplement the QObject::timerEvent() event

    handler in your class (which must inherit QObject). The

    disadvantage is that timerEvent() does not support such

    high-level features as single-shot timers or signals.

    Another alternative to using QTimer is to use QBasicTimer. It is

    typically less cumbersome than using QObject::startTimer()

    directly. See \l{Timers} for an overview of all three approaches.

    Some operating systems limit the number of timers that may be

    used; Qt tries to work around these limitations.
