   3 The wxStopWatch class allow you to measure time intervals. For example, you may
   4 use it to measure the time elapsed by some function:
   5
   6 \begin{verbatim}
   7     wxStopWatch sw;
   8     CallLongRunningFunction();
   9     wxLogMessage("The long running function took %ldms to execute",
  10                  sw.Time());
  11     sw.Pause();
  12     ... stopwatch is stopped now ...
  13     sw.Resume();
  14     CallLongRunningFunction();
  15     wxLogMessage("And calling it twice took $ldms in all", sw.Time());
  16 \end{verbatim}

  32 \membersection{wxStopWatch::wxStopWatch}\label{wxstopwatchctor}
  33
  34 \func{}{wxStopWatch}{\void}
  35
  36 Constructor. This starts the stop watch.
  37
  38 \membersection{wxStopWatch::Pause}\label{wxstopwatchpause}
  39
  40 \func{void}{Pause}{\void}
  41
  42 Pauses the stop watch. Call \helpref{wxStopWatch::Resume}{wxstopwatchresume} to resume
  43 time measuring again.
  44
  45 If this method is called several times, {\tt Resume()} must be called the same
  46 number of times to really resume the stop watch. You may, however, call
  47 \helpref{Start}{wxstopwatchstart} to resume it unconditionally.
  48
  49 \membersection{wxStopWatch::Resume}\label{wxstopwatchresume}
  50
  51 \func{void}{Resume}{\void}
  52
  53 Resumes the stop watch which had been paused with
  54 \helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
  55
  56 \membersection{wxStopWatch::Start}\label{wxstopwatchstart}
  57
  58 \func{void}{Start}{\param{long}{ milliseconds = 0}}
  59
  60 (Re)starts the stop watch with a given initial value.
  61
  62 \membersection{wxStopWatch::Time}\label{wxstopwatchtime}
  63
  64 \constfunc{long}{Time}{\void}\label{wxstopwatchtime}
  65
  66 Returns the time in milliseconds since the start (or restart) or the last call of
  67 \helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
