Virtual time control

[j-o]

Goal: control virtual time using a media player like interface (i.e., a timeline, player/pause button, speed control, etc.).

This is currently not possible because the time delta for each frame is sent directly from the window system (at least Qt) to the capability. I would suggest to add a tool in between that implements the functionality mentioned above and a widget to control it.

What do you think?

This is planned since the beginning and we hope it will be implemented soon :wink:

Started implementation, waiting for #67

This should be reexamined for gloperate 2.0. One part would be a pipeline interface for controlling the virtual time (already implemented), which by default just propagates the "real" time from the viewer. A stage could be implemented to emit virtual times, which can be connected to an additional QML widget.
