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

    \ingroup time
    \ingroup events
    \mainclass

    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 five second, or 5000 millisecond, timer (from the
    \l widgets/analogclock example):

    \quotefromfile widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp
    \skipto = new QTimer
    \printline = new
    \printline connect
    \printline start(5000)

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

    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:

    \quotefromfile snippets/timers/timers.cpp
    \skipto singleShot
    \printline singleShot

    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:

    \skipto ZERO-CASE
    \skipline ZERO
    \printline = new QTimer
    \printline connect
    \printline start

    \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-milliseconds
    \l{QTimer}s will gradually be replaced by \l{QThread}s.

    Note that QTimer's accuracy depends on the underlying operating
    system and hardware. Most platforms support an accuracy of 1
    milliseconds, but Windows 95 and 98 support only 55. If Qt is
    unable to deliver the requested number of timer clicks, it will
    silently discard some.

    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.html}{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.

    This static function calls a slot after a given time interval.

    It is very convenient to use this function because you do not need
    to bother with a \link QObject::timerEvent() timerEvent\endlink or
    create a local QTimer object.

    Example:
    \code
        #include <qapplication.h>
        #include <qtimer.h>

        int main(int argc, char **argv)
        {
            QApplication a(argc, argv);
            QTimer::singleShot(10*60*1000, &a, SLOT(quit()));
                ... // create and show your widgets
            return a.exec();
        }
    \endcode

    This sample program automatically terminates after 10 minutes
    (600000 milliseconds).

    The \a receiver is the receiving object and the \a member is the
    slot. The time interval is \a msec milliseconds.

    A single-shot timer fires only once, non-single-shot timers fire

 */

  \brief the timeout interval in milliseconds

  The default value for this property is 0.  A QTimer with a timeout
  interval of 0 will time out as soon as all the events in the window
  system's event queue have been processed.

  Setting the interval of an active timer changes its timerId().
