TimeFormat
(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)[source] [edit on github]¶ Bases:
object
Base class for time representations.
Parameters: val1 : numpy ndarray, list, str, or number
Data to initialize table.
val2 : numpy ndarray, list, str, or number; optional
Data to initialize table.
scale : str
Time scale of input value(s)
precision : int
Precision for seconds as floating point
in_subfmt : str
Select subformat for inputting string times
out_subfmt : str
Select subformat for outputting string times
from_jd : bool
If true then val1, val2 are jd1, jd2
Attributes Summary
scale
Time scale value
Methods Summary
set_jds
(val1, val2)Set internal jd1 and jd2 from val1 and val2. to_value
([parent])Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2. Attributes Documentation

Methods Documentation

set_jds
(val1, val2)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set internal jd1 and jd2 from val1 and val2. Must be provided by derived classes.
-
to_value
(parent=None)[source] [edit on github]¶ Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2. This is the base method that ignores
parent
and requires that subclasses implement thevalue
property. Subclasses that requireparent
or have other optional args forto_value
should compute and return the value directly.
