want to add a stop watch to my application!

i want to add a stop watch to my application so that when ever i press a key from the keyboard it should start the watch and when i press another key it should stop.. is there any inbuild function in vizard for a watch?

You can use the vizact.ontimer function to update the stop watch time. I created a simple wrapper class around this for starting/stopping the watch. Here is the sample script:

Code:

import viz

viz.go()



class StopWatch(object):

        def __init__(self):

                self.time = 0.0

                

                self._timer = vizact.ontimer(0,self._updateTime)

                self._timer.setEnabled(False)

                

        def _updateTime(self):

                self.time += viz.elapsed()

                

        def start(self):

                self._timer.setEnabled(True)

                

        def stop(self):

                self._timer.setEnabled(False)

                

        def toggle(self):

                self._timer.setEnabled(viz.TOGGLE)

                

#Create stop watch object

watch = StopWatch()



#Spacebar toggles stop watch

vizact.onkeydown(' ',watch.toggle)



#Create text object to display watch time

text = viz.addText('',parent=viz.ORTHO,fontSize=40)



#Setup timer to update text object with watch time every frame

def DisplayTime():

        text.message('%.2f'%(watch.time))

vizact.ontimer(0,DisplayTime)
