public class Clock

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Runnable

The Clock.class provides the timer to that is visible at design time but invisible at run time. It can be wired up using action listeners at design time.

The clock sends a "tick" (an action event) every simualtion second to registered listeners. The interval between ticks is set using the setMillisecsPerSec(int millisecsPerSec) method. The default value is 1000ms, but other values of ms can be chosen to represent 1 simulation second.
