Detailed Description

Class for representation of a time.

This class represents and performs operations on time. Operations may be done in seconds, seconds and microseconds, or using a struct timeval (defined in time.h ).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SbTime() [1/4]

SbTime::SbTime ( )

inline

Default constructor.

The time value is not initialized.

Definition at line 97 of file SbTime.h.

◆ SbTime() [2/4]

SbTime::SbTime ( double sec )

Constructor taking seconds.

NOTE that an integer parameter will not automatically cast to a double to invoke the constructor taking seconds; that is, SbTime(1) will result in a compilation error. SbTime(1.0) must be used instead. This is to avoid errors in upgrading from an earlier release, in which SbTime(1) had different semantics. In future releases, this distinction will be eliminated, and the effect of SbTime(1.0) and that of SbTime(1) will be identical.

◆ SbTime() [3/4]

SbTime::SbTime	(	time_t	sec,
		long	usec
	)

Constructor taking seconds and microseconds.

◆ SbTime() [4/4]

SbTime::SbTime ( const struct timeval * tv )

Constructor taking a struct timeval.

Member Function Documentation

◆ format()

SbString SbTime::format ( const char * fmt = "%S.%i" ) const

Convert to a string.

The default format is seconds with 3 digits of fraction precision. fmt is a character string that consists of field descriptors and text characters, in a manner analogous to printf(). Each field descriptor consists of a % character followed by another character which specifies the replacement for the field descriptor. All other characters are copied from fmt into the result. The following field descriptors are supported:

  \%  the `\%' character
  D  total number of days
  H  total number of hours
  M  total number of minutes
  S  total number of seconds
  I  total number of milliseconds
  U  total number of microseconds
  h  hours remaining after the days (00-23)
  m  minutes remaining after the hours (00-59)
  s  seconds remaining after the minutes (00-59)
  i  milliseconds remaining after the seconds (000-999)
  u  microseconds remaining after the seconds (000000-999999)

The uppercase descriptors are formatted with a leading ‘-’ for negative times; the lowercase descriptors are formatted fixed width, with leading zeros. For example, a reasonable format string might be "elapsed time: \%M minutes, \%s seconds". The default value of fmt, "\%S.\%i", formats the time as seconds with 3 digits of fractional precision.

◆ formatDate()

SbString SbTime::formatDate ( const char * fmt = DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATE ) const

Convert to a date string, interpreting the time as seconds since Jan 1, 1970.

The default format gives "Tuesday, 01/26/93 11:23:41 AM". See the strftime() reference page for explanation of the format string.

◆ getMsecValue()

unsigned long SbTime::getMsecValue ( ) const

Get time in milliseconds (for Xt).

◆ getTimeOfDay()

static SbTime SbTime::getTimeOfDay ( )

static

Get the current time (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).

◆ getValue() [1/3]

double SbTime::getValue ( ) const

◆ getValue() [2/3]

void SbTime::getValue ( struct timeval * tv ) const

Get time in a struct timeval.

◆ getValue() [3/3]

void SbTime::getValue	(	time_t &	sec,
		long &	usec
	)		const

Get time in seconds and microseconds.

◆ max()

static SbTime SbTime::max ( )

static

Deprecated.

Get a time far, far into the future. Replaced by SbTime::maxTime() method.

◆ maxTime()

static SbTime SbTime::maxTime ( )

static

Get a time far, far into the future.

Replace the deprecated SbTime::max() method.

◆ operator!=()

int SbTime::operator!= ( const SbTime & tm ) const
