java.lang.Object
- net.imglib2.util.StopWatch

```
public class StopWatch
extends java.lang.Object
```
Utility class to measure time differences in nano-seconds, based on System.nanoTime(). It compensates glitches in System.nanoTime(), such that the stop time can never be earlier than the start time. (For example, see stackoverflow)

private StopWatch()
```
    Use createStopped() or createAndStart() to create a StopWatch. This constructor will also create a StopWatch, just like createStopped(), but the more expressively named factory methods are preferred.
- Method Detail
  - createStopped
```
public static StopWatch createStopped()
```
    Construct new StopWatch. It is not running initially. Call start() to start timing.
  - createAndStart
```
public static StopWatch createAndStart()
```
    Construct and start a new StopWatch.
  - safeNanos
```
private long safeNanos()
```
  - start
```
public void start()
```
    Start the clock.
  - stop
```
public void stop()
```
    Stop the clock.
  - nanoTime
```
public long nanoTime()
```
    Get the total time the clock was running, in nano-seconds. Note that the clock can be started and stopped multiple times, accumulating the time intervals it was running in between.
    
    Returns:
    
    the total time the clock was running, in nano-seconds.
  - seconds
```
public double seconds()
```
    Get the total time the clock was running in seconds. Note that the clock can be started and stopped multiple times, accumulating the time intervals it was running in between.
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Get the total time the clock was running as string. Note that the clock can be started and stopped multiple times, accumulating the time intervals it was running in between.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - secondsToString
```
public static java.lang.String secondsToString(double seconds)
```
