Remarks

This class is used to define date input format and association between dates and coordinates (date mapping).

Date format is defined by a string of characters consisting of only the following letters: ",',h,H, d,D, m,M, y,Y

     "        the date includes a number of seconds defined by a float
             or integer value
    '        the date includes a number of minutes in 1 or 2 characters
    h or H   the date includes an hour in 2 characters
    D        the date includes a day of the week in 3 characters
    d        the date includes a day of the month in 2 characters
    M        the date includes the month defined by its first 4 letters
    m        the date includes the number of the month in 2 characters
    Y        the date includes the year in 4 characters
    y        the date includes the year in the 20th century in 2 characters
             (the last 2)
The date format is as follows

["] ['] [H | h] [d] [D] [m | M] [y | Y] in any order.

The format may include the letters ", ', H or h (exclusive), d, and D, m or M (exclusive), and y or Y (exclusive), but these letters may be in any order. Each letter may only be used once. If the format is incorrect, an error message is generated and the current date format is not modified.

    dh               10-23            11 p.m. on the 10th

    MdY              SEPT.23.1992     23 September 1992
Comments:
  • days, months and years may be separated by any number of separating characters (any non-alphanumerical character).

  • Graph Master always checks the day of the week in relation to the number of days in the month. If the day does not correspond to the number, Graph Master corrects it.

  • Graph Master checks the number of the day in the month. If this number is greater than the number of days in that month, Graph Master only takes the last day of the month (taking leap years into account for the month of February)
