three.js clock seconds or milliseconds

[roy192]

The elapsedTime property, getElapsedTime function, and getDelta function of the Clock class return the time in seconds. The comments above these mention milliseconds instead of seconds.

You can see this clearly in the getDelta function, the difference is multiplied by 0.001 (divided by 1000).

Also, the comment above elapsedTime mentions that it's counted from 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC. This doesn't make sense, it's counted from the when the clock is started (as stated in the line above).

oldTime, and startTime return in milliseconds (so that's correct).

I checked the source code of three.js, and made ​​sure you are correct.
I will commit a modified version in a few days.
Thank you for pointing out.

Please check #1869.

The getElapsedTime and getDelta functions also return the time in seconds.

And there's a small typo in elapsedTime: "It holds the time elapsed _btween_ the start of the clock"
btween should be between.

Sorry. It was missing. Please check #1876.
