Introduction

We are putting here a clock with the macro \tdclock:

/ / : :

Before that, the macro \initclock must have been used (only one time !).

This document uses the option resetatpages=2. This means that the crono is
reset to zero at page 2.
Below you can see a crono advancing. Every time you access to this page, the
crono should be reset to 0 (the output is updated every 10 seconds, as indicated
with the option timeinterval=10, so it could appear some non zero seconds, not
greater than 10)

Crono: :

Wait some seconds until you see the crono advancing, then go to the next page,
go back to this page again and wait some seconds to see how the crono is reset.

Here we have inserted the clock at the place reserved to the date, the foot line in
the case of Madrid theme.
To do that, we have redefined the date contents with the order
\date{\tddate\ \ \tdtime}
Note that color and font size are adjusted according to the theme.
Look at the foot!, the clock must be running.

Next, we have inserted a button to toggle between clock and stopwatch, and a
button to reset the stopwatch to zero.
toggle
: : reset

Click at the left button, see what happens (you must wait 10 seconds), then click
at the right button and see the result. Finally, click at the left button again to
recover the current time

To do that, we have used

\toggleclock{\beamerbutton{toggle}}
\tdtime
\resetcrono{\beamerbutton{reset}}

Here we change the color and size of the clock with standard LATEXcommands.
