```
public class SbTime
extends Inventor
implements java.lang.Comparable
```
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 ).

public SbTime()
```
    Default constructor. The time value is not initialized.
  - SbTime
```
public 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.
- Method Detail
  - formatDate
```
public java.lang.String formatDate()
```
    Calls formatDate(DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATE).
  - format
```
public java.lang.String format()
```
    Calls format("%S.%i").
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable
  - zero
```
public static SbTime zero()
```
    Get a zero time.
  - getValue
```
public SbTime.TimeVal getValue()
```
    Get time in seconds and microseconds.
  - sleep
```
public static void sleep(int msec)
```
    Sleep for specified time (in msec).
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(SbTime copyFrom)
```
  - format
```
public java.lang.String format(java.lang.String fmt)
```
    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.
  - getMsecValue
```
public long getMsecValue()
```
    Get time in milliseconds (for Xt).
  - toArray
```
public static SbTime[] toArray(long nativeArray,
                               long length)
```
  - usleep
```
public static void usleep(long usec)
```
    Sleep for specified time (in microsec).
  - maxTime
```
public static SbTime maxTime()
```
    Get a time far, far into the future. Replace the deprecated SbTime.max() method.
  - formatDate
```
public java.lang.String formatDate(java.lang.String fmt)
```
    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.

                     long usec)

```
public void substract(SbTime tm)
```
    Subtraction of two times which modifies the time structure.
  - setToTimeOfDay
```
public void setToTimeOfDay()
```
    Set to the current time (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
  - getTimeOfDay
```
public static SbTime getTimeOfDay()
```
    Get the current time (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
  - plus
