11.2 GetTimerTime()
Calculates and returns the timing interval (VSE Time object) between the Time-at SetTimer()
and Current Time. For example, if
T1 is the time when SetTimer() is being called for an event; and
T2 is the current time when GetTimerTime() is called.
Then
T = T2 – T1 is the timing interval returned by the GetTimerTime() function, where T
is of type VSE Time object, which can be converted into a string using the TimeToText()
function (refer to
Chapter 13 for detailed explanation).
Format :
GetTimerTime ( timer_id = 0)
Parameters
timer_id
Unique timer identifier
Return value
Returns VSE time object from timer with id = timer_id.
Example
GetTimerTime (); # Retrieve timing interval for timer with id = 0;
GetTimerTime (23); # Retrieve timing interval for timer with id = 23;
Remark
This function, when called, does not reset the timer.
11.3 KillTimer()
Kills/stops a specific running Timer (with Timer-ID = used by SetTimer()) and frees
its corresponding resources.
Format :
KillTimer( timer_id = 0)
Parameter
timer_id
Unique timer identifier
Example
KillTimer(); # Stop timing for timer with id = 0;
KillTimer(23); # Stop timing for timer with id = 23;
