Code: Select all
As a special case, a QTimer with a timeout of 0 will time out as soon as all the events in the window system’s event queue have been processed. This can be used to do heavy work while providing a snappy user interface:Set Timer to trigger after processing

Set Timer to trigger after processing
I wanted to do some processing after a workbench change so I set a timer to wait for all the events to update. A timer might not be the best coding approach but I found this in the QT docs to help.

And what is more precisely your question ?
Re: Set Timer to trigger after processing
QTimer is used in the DraftGui.todo class (src/Mod/DraftGui.py) precisely to schedule and trigger the execution of certain commands after others. This is done to prevent crashes with the 3D view manipulation by Coin. Maybe this is interesting to you? What exactly do you want to do?
Also ask Joel Graff who is doing something similar with his pivy_trackers library.

Re: Set Timer to trigger after processing
I don't have a question, I am already using this timer and thought it was worth mentioning.openBrain

It Is interesting. I was thinking this might be useful in the timing of motion simulation. It can be tough to get a call back when doing a graphic process sometimes.vocx , Maybe this is interesting to you?
Thanks
