Can be used as source for animation speed computations. @section Timeline-usage Basic usage Construct the timeline on initialization so the instance is available for whole lifetime of the application. Call start() before first draw event is performed, after everything is properly initialized. @note When timeline is started, it immediately starts measuring frame time. Be prepared that time of first frame will be much longer than time of following frames. It mainly depends on where you called start() in your initialization routine, but can be also affected by driver- and GPU-specific lazy texture binding, shader recompilations etc. In your draw event implementation don't forget to call nextFrame() after buffer swap. You can use previousFrameDuration() to compute animation speed. Example usage: @code MyApplication::MyApplication(const Parameters& parameters): Platform::Application(parameters) { // Initialization ... timeline.setMinimalFrameTime(1/120.0f) // 120 FPS at max .start(); } void MyApplication::drawEvent() { // Distance of object travelling at speed of 15 units per second Float distance = 15.0f*timeline.previousFrameDuration(); // Move object, draw ... swapBuffers(); redraw(); timeline.nextFrame(); } @endcode @todo FPS should be governed by Application (imagine more than one simultaenous timeline and the harm it could do, also vsync etc. can't be handled in platform-independent way here) */ class MAGNUM_EXPORT Timeline { public: /** * @brief Constructor * * Creates stopped timeline. * @see start() */ explicit Timeline(): _minimalFrameTime(0), _previousFrameDuration(0), running(false) {} /** @brief Minimal frame time (in seconds) */ Float minimalFrameTime() const { return _minimalFrameTime; } /** * @brief Set minimal frame time * @return Reference to self (for method chaining) * * Default value is 0. * @see nextFrame() */ Timeline& setMinimalFrameTime(Float seconds) { _minimalFrameTime = seconds; return *this; } /** * @brief Start timeline * * Sets previous frame time and duration to `0`. * @see stop(), previousFrameDuration() */ void start(); /** * @brief Stop timeline * * @see start(), nextFrame() */ void stop(); /** * @brief Advance to next frame * * If current frame time is smaller than minimal frame time, pauses * the execution for remaining time. * @note This function does nothing if the timeline is stopped. * @see setMinimalFrameTime(), stop() */ void nextFrame(); /** * @brief Time at previous frame (in seconds) * * Returns time elapsed since start() was called.
