Properties of a CFTime object

Description

These functions return the properties of an instance of the CFTime class. The properties are all read-only, but offsets can be added using the + operator.

Usage

definition(t)

calendar(t)

unit(t)

origin(t)

timezone(t)

offsets(t)

resolution(t)

Arguments

t	An instance of CFTime.

Value

calendar() and unit() return a character string. origin() returns a data frame of timestamp elements with a single row of data. timezone() returns the calendar time zone as a character string. offsets() returns a vector of offsets or NULL if no offsets have been set.

Functions

• definition(): The definition string of the CFTime instance.

• calendar(): The calendar of the CFTime instance.

• unit(): The unit of the CFTime instance.

• origin(): The origin of the CFTime instance in timestamp elements.

• timezone(): The time zone of the calendar of the CFTime instance as a character string.

• offsets(): The offsets of the CFTime instance as a numeric vector.

• resolution(): The average separation between the offsets in the CFTime instance.

Examples

t <- CFtime("days since 1850-01-01", "julian", 0:364)
definition(t)
calendar(t)
unit(t)
timezone(t)
origin(t)
offsets(t)
