xvobject xvw_create_timer(
xvobject parent,
char *name)
none
The location of the upper left corner of the timer may be specified in world coordinates, where the world coordinate range is dictated by the "controlling" visual object. By default, the parent of the timer object is its controlling visual object; this may be changed using the XVW_GRAPHICS_ATTACH attribute.
Alternatively, the location of the timer may be specified using device coordinates. As when using world coordinates, specify the upper left hand corner of the timer.
The amount of space used by the text displaying the time cannot be explicitly set by the application; this is automatically calculated according to the font that is used. Specification of a width and height simply provides a buffer of space around the time; note that justification will have no effect unless the width and height are specified to be larger than what is actually needed by the text displaying the time. Width and height may be specified in characters or in pixels.
In addition to font specification, the timer object also supports multiple styles in which the string displaying the time can appear: available styles include plain, emphasized, embossed in, and embossed out.
