-The wxStopWatch class allow you to measure time intervalls.
+The wxStopWatch class allow you to measure time intervals. For example, you may
+use it to measure the time elapsed by some function:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxStopWatch sw;
+ CallLongRunningFunction();
+ wxLogMessage("The long running function took %ldms to execute",
+ sw.Time());
+ sw.Pause();
+ ... stopwatch is stopped now ...
+ sw.Resume();
+ CallLongRunningFunction();
+ wxLogMessage("And calling it twice took $ldms in all", sw.Time());
+\end{verbatim}

\func{}{wxStopWatch}{\void}
Pauses the stop watch. Call \helpref{wxStopWatch::Resume}{wxstopwatchresume} to resume
time measuring again.
-\membersection{wxStopWatch::Start}
-
-\func{void}{Start}{\param{long}{ milliseconds = 0}}
-
-(Re)starts the stop watch with a given initial value.
+If this method is called several times, {\tt Resume()} must be called the same
+number of times to really resume the stop watch. You may, however, call
+\helpref{Start}{wxstopwatchstart} to resume it unconditionally.
\membersection{wxStopWatch::Resume}\label{wxstopwatchresume}
\func{void}{Resume}{\void}
-Resumes the stop watch after having been paused with \helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
+Resumes the stop watch which had been paused with
+\helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
+
+\membersection{wxStopWatch::Start}\label{wxstopwatchstart}
+
+\func{void}{Start}{\param{long}{ milliseconds = 0}}
+
+(Re)starts the stop watch with a given initial value.

+\membersection{wxStopWatch::Time}\label{wxstopwatchtime}
-\func{long}{Time}{\void}\label{wxstopwatchtime}
+\constfunc{long}{Time}{\void}\label{wxstopwatchtime}
Returns the time in milliseconds since the start (or restart) or the last call of
\helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
