/**
 * SECTION:gperiodic
 * @title: GPeriodic
 * @short_description: a periodic event clock
 *
 * #GPeriodic is a periodic event clock that fires a configurable number
 * of times per second and is capable of being put into synch with an
 * external time source.
 *
 * A number of #GPeriodicTickFunc<!-- -->s are registered with
 * g_periodic_add() and are called each time the clock "ticks".
 *
 * The tick functions can report "damage" (ie: updates that need to be
 * performed) that are handled in a "repair" phase that follows all the
 * tick functions having been run.  It is also possible to report damage
 * while the clock is not running, in which case the rate of repairs
 * will be rate limited as if the clock were running.
 *
 * #GPeriodic is intended to be used as a paint clock for managing
 * geometry updates and painting of windows.
 *
 * Since: 2.28
