glutTimerFunc

registers a timer callback to be triggered in a specified number of milliseconds.

Signature

glutTimerFunc( unsigned int( msecs ) , value( msecs ) )-> void
glutTimerFunc( function ) 
Specify handler for GLUT 'Timer' events
    def handler( (int) value ):
        return None

Parameters

VariablesDescription
msecs
Number of milliseconds to pass before calling the callback.
func
The timer callback function.
value
Integer value to pass to the timer callback.

Description

glutTimerFunc registers the timer callback func to be triggered in at least msecs milliseconds. The value parameter to the timer callback will be the value of the value parameter to glutTimerFunc . Multiple timer callbacks at same or differing times may be registered simultaneously.
The number of milliseconds is a lower bound on the time before the callback is generated. GLUT attempts to deliver the timer callback as soon as possible after the expiration of the callback's time interval.
There is no support for canceling a registered callback. Instead, ignore a callback based on its value parameter when it is triggered.
