* SECTION:frametimings
* @Short_description: Object holding timing information for a single frame
* @Title: Frame timings
*
* A #GdkFrameTimings object holds timing information for a single frame
* of the application's displays. To retrieve #GdkFrameTimings objects,
* use gdk_frame_clock_get_timings() or gdk_frame_clock_get_current_timings().
* The information in #GdkFrameTimings is useful for precise synchronization
* of video with the event or audio streams, and for measuring
* quality metrics for the application's display, such as latency and jitter.
