[17:7] extends: object
Holds timing information for a single frame of the application’s displays. To
retrieve GdkFrameTimings objects, use [method@Gdk.FrameClock.get_timings]
or [method@Gdk.FrameClock.get_current_timings]. The information in
GdkFrameTimings is useful for precise synchronization of video with the
event or audio streams, and for measuring quality metrics for the
application’s display, such as latency and jitter.
GdkFrameTimings (Handle = null)
Creates a new
FrameTimingsby wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.
Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.get_complete ()
Returns whether @timings are complete. The timing information in a
GdkFrameTimingsis filled in incrementally as the frame as drawn and passed off to the window system for processing and display to the user. The accessor functions forGdkFrameTimingscan return 0 to indicate an unavailable value for two reasons: either because the information is not yet available, or because it isn't available at all. Once this function returns %TRUE for a frame, you can be certain that no further values will become available and be stored in theGdkFrameTimings.
%TRUE if all information that will be available for the frame has been filled in..get_frame_counter ()
Gets the frame counter value of the
GdkFrameClockwhen this frame was drawn.
the frame counter value for this frame.get_frame_time ()
Returns the frame time for the frame. This is the time value that is typically used to time animations for the frame. See [method@Gdk.FrameClock.get_frame_time].
the frame time for the frame, in the timescale of g_get_monotonic_time().get_predicted_presentation_time ()
Gets the predicted time at which this frame will be displayed. Although no predicted time may be available, if one is available, it will be available while the frame is being generated, in contrast to [method@Gdk.FrameTimings.get_presentation_time], which is only available after the frame has been presented. In general, if you are simply animating, you should use [method@Gdk.FrameClock.get_frame_time] rather than this function, but this function is useful for applications that want exact control over latency. For example, a movie player may want this information for Audio/Video synchronization.
The predicted time at which the frame will be presented, in the timescale of g_get_monotonic_time(), or 0 if no predicted presentation time is available..get_presentation_time ()
Reurns the presentation time. This is the time at which the frame became visible to the user.
the time the frame was displayed to the user, in the timescale of g_get_monotonic_time(), or 0 if no presentation time is available. See [method@Gdk.FrameTimings.get_complete].get_refresh_interval ()
Gets the natural interval between presentation times for the display that this frame was displayed on. Frame presentation usually happens during the “vertical blanking interval”.
the refresh interval of the display, in microseconds, or 0 if the refresh interval is not available. See [method@Gdk.FrameTimings.get_complete]..ref ()
Increases the reference count of @timings.
@timings.unref ()
Decreases the reference count of @timings. If @timings is no longer referenced, it will be freed.
None.
