Timer
class in package klyn.gui.windows

    public class Timer:

Timer

Event-loop based GUI timer.

`Timer` is intended for GUI refreshes and lightweight periodic actions. Its `timeout` event is emitted by the native window event loop, so callbacks can safely update widgets and request repaints.

@example ```klyn timer = Timer(1000) timer.timeout += lambda(event: ActionEvent): print("tick") timer.start()
