Project description
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
DojoX Timing is a project that deals with any kind of advanced use of timing
|
|
|
19 |
constructs. The central object, dojox.timing.Timer (included by default), is
|
|
|
20 |
a simple object that fires a callback on each tick of the timer, as well as
|
|
|
21 |
when starting or stopping it. The interval of each tick is settable, but the
|
|
|
22 |
default is 1 second--useful for driving something such as a clock.
|
|
|
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
dojox.timing.Streamer is an object designed to facilitate streaming/buffer-type
|
|
|
25 |
scenarios; it takes an input and an output function, will execute the output
|
|
|
26 |
function onTick, and run the input function when the internal buffer gets
|
|
|
27 |
beneath a certain threshold of items. This can be useful for something timed--
|
|
|
28 |
such as updating a data plot at every N interval, and getting new data from
|
|
|
29 |
a source when there's less than X data points in the internal buffer (think
|
|
|
30 |
real-time data updating).
|
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
dojox.timing.Sequencer is an object, similar to Streamer, that will allow you
|
|
|
33 |
to set up a set of functions to be executed in a specific order, at specific
|
|
|
34 |
intervals.
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
The DojoX Timing ThreadPool is a port from the original implementation in the
|
|
|
37 |
f(m) library. It allows a user to feed a set of callback functions (wrapped
|
|
|
38 |
in a Thread constructor) to a pool for background processing.

Installation instructions
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
Grab the following from the Dojo SVN Repository:
|
|
|
51 |
http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/var/src/dojo/dojox/trunk/timing.js
|
|
|
52 |
http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/var/src/dojo/dojox/trunk/timing/*
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
Install into the following directory structure:
|
|
|
55 |
/dojox/timing.js
|
|
|
56 |
/dojox/timing/
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
|
58 |
...which should be at the same level as your Dojo checkout.
