Timing functions

mglGetSecs: Get time in seconds

purpose: Get current or elapsed time
usage: mglGetSecs(<t0>)

argument value
t0 start time from which to compute elapsed time

To get current time

t=mglGetSecs

Get elapsed time since t0

t0 = mglGetSecs;
elapsedTime=mglGetSecs(t0)

mglWaitSecs: Wait for a time in seconds

purpose: Wait for some time
usage: mglWaitSecs(waitTime)

argument value
waitTime time to wait for in seconds

Wait 3.3 seconds:

mglWaitSecs(3.3);
