+    \class QTimer
+    \inmodule QtCore
+    \brief The QTimer class provides repetitive and single-shot timers.
+
+    \ingroup events
+
+
+    The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface for
+    timers. To use it, create a QTimer, connect its timeout() signal
+    to the appropriate slots, and call start(). From then on, it will
+    emit the timeout() signal at constant intervals.
+
+    Example for a one second (1000 millisecond) timer (from the
+    \l{widgets/analogclock}{Analog Clock} example):
+
+    \snippet ../widgets/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 4
+    \snippet ../widgets/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 5
+    \snippet ../widgets/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 6
+
+    From then on, the \c update() slot is called every second.
+
+    You can set a timer to time out only once by calling
+    setSingleShot(true). You can also use the static
+    QTimer::singleShot() function to call a slot after a specified
+    interval:
+
+    \snippet timers/timers.cpp 3
+
+    In multithreaded applications, you can use QTimer in any thread
+    that has an event loop. To start an event loop from a non-GUI
+    thread, use QThread::exec(). Qt uses the timer's
+    \l{QObject::thread()}{thread affinity} to determine which thread
+    will emit the \l{QTimer::}{timeout()} signal. Because of this, you
+    must start and stop the timer in its thread; it is not possible to
+    start a timer from another thread.
+
+    As a special case, a QTimer with a timeout of 0 will time out as soon as
+    possible, though the ordering between zero timers and other sources of
+    events is unspecified. Zero timers can be used to do some work while still
+    providing a snappy user interface:
+
+    \snippet timers/timers.cpp 4
+    \snippet timers/timers.cpp 5
+    \snippet timers/timers.cpp 6
+
+    From then on, \c processOneThing() will be called repeatedly. It
+    should be written in such a way that it always returns quickly
+    (typically after processing one data item) so that Qt can deliver
+    events to the user interface and stop the timer as soon as it has done all
+    its work. This is the traditional way of implementing heavy work
+    in GUI applications, but as multithreading is nowadays becoming available on
+    more and more platforms, we expect that zero-millisecond
+    QTimer objects will gradually be replaced by \l{QThread}s.
+
+    \section1 Accuracy and Timer Resolution
+
+    The accuracy of timers depends on the underlying operating system
+    and hardware. Most platforms support a resolution of 1 millisecond,
+    though the accuracy of the timer will not equal this resolution
+    in many real-world situations.
+
+    The accuracy also depends on the \l{Qt::TimerType}{timer type}. For
+    Qt::PreciseTimer, QTimer will try to keep the accuracy at 1 millisecond.
+    Precise timers will also never time out earlier than expected.
+
+    For Qt::CoarseTimer and Qt::VeryCoarseTimer types, QTimer may wake up
+    earlier than expected, within the margins for those types: 5% of the
+    interval for Qt::CoarseTimer and 500 ms for Qt::VeryCoarseTimer.
+
+    All timer types may time out later than expected if the system is busy or
+    unable to provide the requested accuracy. In such a case of timeout
+    overrun, Qt will emit timeout() only once, even if multiple timeouts have
+    expired, and then will resume the original interval.
+
+    \section1 Alternatives to QTimer
+
+    An alternative to using QTimer is to call QObject::startTimer()
+    for your object and reimplement the QObject::timerEvent() event
+    handler in your class (which must inherit QObject). The
+    disadvantage is that timerEvent() does not support such
+    high-level features as single-shot timers or signals.
+
+    Another alternative is QBasicTimer. It is typically less
+    cumbersome than using QObject::startTimer()
+    directly. See \l{Timers} for an overview of all three approaches.
+
+    Some operating systems limit the number of timers that may be
+    used; Qt tries to work around these limitations.
