- How to measure time?
- Posted by Wilfried Holzke on December 17th, 2003
Hi,
I am writing an application which manipulates images within a thread. I want to
calculate the frames per second. What is the best and precisely procedure to
calculate the fps?
Thanks for help.
regards
Wilfried

I suggest you use a high resoultion timer.

Hi 
Thanks for the information, but the MS-page tells me that the topic can not be
found. But I think you mean the "queryperformancecounter" procedure?

Yes. Marco's link is missing a hyphen in "enus" part -- should be "en-us".

Sorry about that, I lost the hyphen in my copy & paste... :-)
We should have in Windows a multiple clipboard as Office has, shouldn't we ?

Hi,
Is the QueryHighPerformanceCounter the best solution or are there other
procedure for time measuring?

You could use a multimedia timer, but it hasn't the same resolution as
QueryPerformanceCounter.
That's why I use a high-resolution timer in this app:

Anyway, multimedia timer documentation is here:
