Detailed Description
       QwtSystemClock provides high resolution clock time functions.

       Sometimes the resolution offered by QTime ( millisecond ) is not accurate enough for implementing time measurements ( f.e. sampling ).
       QwtSystemClock offers a subset of the QTime functionality using higher resolution timers ( if possible ).

       Precision and time intervals are multiples of milliseconds (ms).

       Note:
	   The implementation uses high-resolution performance counter on Windows, mach_absolute_time() on the Mac or POSIX timers on other
	   systems. If none is available it falls back on QTimer.

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   QwtSystemClock::QwtSystemClock ()
       Constructs a null clock object.

   QwtSystemClock::~QwtSystemClock () [virtual]
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation
   double QwtSystemClock::elapsed () const Returns:
	   Number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the last time start() or restart() was called or 0.0 for null clocks.

   bool QwtSystemClock::isNull () const Returns:
	   true if the clock has never been started.

   double QwtSystemClock::precision () [static] Returns:
	   Accuracy of the system clock in milliseconds.

   double QwtSystemClock::restart () The start time to the current time and return the time, that is elapsed since the previous start time.
   void QwtSystemClock::start () Sets the start time to the current time.
