 The class computes passing time by counting the number of ticks per second. That is, the following code computes the
 execution time in seconds:
-@code
-TickMeter tm;
-tm.start();
-// do something ...
-tm.stop();
-std::cout << tm.getTimeSec();
-@endcode
+@snippet snippets/core_various.cpp TickMeter_total
 
 It is also possible to compute the average time over multiple runs:
-@code
-TickMeter tm;
-for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
-{
-    tm.start();
-    // do something ...
-    tm.stop();
