Detailed Description

TimePoint represents an instant, an infinitesimal point in time, in any timescale. The internal representation of time consists of the separate integer and fractional components of a Julian date. This guarantees a numerical resolution better than one nanosecond, as well as fast time relational and arithmetic operations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TimePoint() [1/11]

pcl::TimePoint::TimePoint ( )

default

Default constructor. Yields an invalid TimePoint object that cannot be used until properly initialized.

◆ TimePoint() [2/11]

pcl::TimePoint::TimePoint ( double jd )

inline

Constructs a TimePoint object for a given instant represented as a Julian date.

Definition at line 116 of file TimePoint.h.

◆ TimePoint() [3/11]

pcl::TimePoint::TimePoint	(	double	jd1,
		double	jd2
	)

inline

Constructs a TimePoint object from two separate Julian date components, jd1 and jd2, where the resulting JD is jd1 + jd2.

Specifying a JD in two parts greatly improves the accuracy of time representation, by increasing the effective bit length used to store time points. To maximize time resolution and calculation efficiency, TimePoint normalizes its internal representation as the separate integer and fractional components of a JD. This guarantees a numerical resolution better than one nanosecond.

◆ CenturiesSinceReferenceEpoch()

constexpr double pcl::TimePoint::CenturiesSinceReferenceEpoch ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the time interval in Julian centuries (36525 days) elapsed since the standard UNIX epoch (JD 2440587.5 = 1970 January 1.0).

Definition at line 824 of file TimePoint.h.

inlineconstexpr

Returns the time interval in days elapsed since the standard UNIX epoch (JD 2440587.5 = 1970 January 1.0).

Definition at line 806 of file TimePoint.h.

◆ DeltaAT()

double pcl::TimePoint::DeltaAT ( ) const

Returns the value of Delta AT, or the difference TAI-UTC, corresponding to this time point, which is assumed to represent an instant in the UTC timescale.

If possible, this member function returns an interpolated value from the global Delta AT database, which will be loaded and parsed upon the first call to this function as a thread-safe procedure. See EphemerisFile::DeltaATDataFilePath() and EphemerisFile::OverrideDeltaATDataFilePath() for more information.

UTC does not exist before 1960, so calling this function for a TimePoint object before that year is a conceptual error. For convenience, zero is returned in such a case instead of throwing an exception.

The returned value is the difference TAI-UTC in seconds.

◆ DeltaT()

double pcl::TimePoint::DeltaT ( ) const

Returns the value of Delta T, or the difference TT-UT1, corresponding to this time point.

If possible, this member function returns an interpolated value from the global Delta T database, which will be loaded and parsed upon the first call to this function as a thread-safe procedure. See EphemerisFile::DeltaTDataFilePath() and EphemerisFile::OverrideDeltaTDataFilePath() for more information.

Otherwise, if this time point falls outside the Delta T database time span, the behavior of this function depends on whether Delta T extrapolation is currently enabled. If extrapolation is enabled, this function will use the polynomial expressions for Delta T included in Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses, by Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus (NASA/TP–2006–214141, Revision 1.0, 2007). If extrapolation of Delta T values is disabled, this function will return the value for the closest time point available in the global Delta T database. Delta T extrapolation is disabled by default.

The returned value is the difference TT-UT1 in seconds.

%m	Zero padded, two digits of minute, '00' through '59'.
%s	Zero padded, two digits of the seconds truncated to an integer, '00' through '59'.
%s<p>	Zero padded representation of seconds rounded or truncated to <p> decimal digits, with <p> in [0,9]. Truncation instead of rounding will we used if the rounded value is equal to 60 seconds.

Other characters in the format string will be included literally in the result. To include a percent sign '%', escape it by preceding it with a backslash: "\\%". To include a backslash character, it must also be escaped as two consecutive slashes: "\\\\".

If this is an invalid TimePoint (for example, a default constructed instance), this function returns an empty string.

Example:

TimePoint t = TimePoint::Now();
std::cout << t.ToString( "%Y-%M-%D %h:%m:%s" ) << '\n'
          << t.ToString( "%Y-%M-%D %h:%m:%s2" ) << '\n'
          << t.ToString( "Today is: %N %d, %Y %h:%m:%s" ) << '\n';

◆ ToString() [3/3]

String pcl::TimePoint::ToString	(	unsigned	timeItems,
		unsigned	precision = `3`,
		double	tz = `0`,
		bool	timeZone = `true`,
		bool	zuluTime = `true`
	)		const

inline

Returns an ISO 8601 extended date/time representation of this time point as a UTF-16 string.

Parameters

timeItems	Number of represented time items. Can be 0, 1, 2 or 3. All items but the last one are represented as integer values. The last item is represented as a floating point value with the specified precision.
precision	Number of decimal digits for the last represented time item. The default value is three decimal digits.
tz	Time zone offset in hours. The default value is zero.
timeZone	Whether to append a time zone specifier to the ISO 8601 representation. The default value is true.
zuluTime	Whether to append the 'Z' special time zone specifier for UTC time without offset, or the '+00:00' specifier otherwise. The default value is true.

If this is an invalid TimePoint (for example, a default constructed instance), this function returns an empty string.

◆ TryFromString() [1/4]

static bool pcl::TimePoint::TryFromString	(	TimePoint &	t,
		const IsoString &	dateTime
	)

inlinestatic

Attempts to evaluate the specified 8-bit string as a date and time specification in ISO 8601 extended format. If successful, stores the evaluated UTC time point in the specified variable t, then returns true.

If the specified string cannot be evaluated as a valid date and time in ISO 8601 extended format, this function returns false and does not change the passed variable t. This function does not throw any parsing exceptions.

If the source string contains a time zone offset, it is subtracted from the evaluated time point. In other words, the TimePoint value stored in t is always represented in the UTC timescale without any offset.
