Constructor Detail

TimeSpanMap

public TimeSpanMap(T entry)

Create a map containing a single object, initially valid throughout the timeline.

The real validity of this first entry will be truncated as other entries are either added before it or added after it.

Parameters:

entry - entry (initially valid throughout the timeline)

Method Detail

addValidBefore

public void addValidBefore(T entry,
                           AbsoluteDate latestValidityDate)

Add an entry valid before a limit date.

As an entry is valid, it truncates the validity of the neighboring entries already present in the map.

The transition dates should be entered only once, either by a call to this method or by a call to addValidAfter(Object, AbsoluteDate). Repeating a transition date will lead to unexpected result and is not supported.

Parameters:

entry - entry to add

latestValidityDate - date before which the entry is valid (must be different from all dates already used for transitions)

addValidAfter

public void addValidAfter(T entry,
                          AbsoluteDate earliestValidityDate)

Add an entry valid after a limit date.

As an entry is valid, it truncates the validity of the neighboring entries already present in the map.

The transition dates should be entered only once, either by a call to this method or by a call to addValidBefore(Object, AbsoluteDate). Repeating a transition date will lead to unexpected result and is not supported.

Parameters:

entry - entry to add

earliestValidityDate - date after which the entry is valid (must be different from all dates already used for transitions)

get

public T get(AbsoluteDate date)

Get the entry valid at a specified date.

Parameters:

date - date at which the entry must be valid

Returns:

valid entry at specified date

getSpan

public TimeSpanMap.Span<T> getSpan(AbsoluteDate date)

Get the time span containing a specified date.

Parameters:

date - date belonging to the desired time span

Returns:

time span containing the specified date

extractRange

public TimeSpanMap<T> extractRange(AbsoluteDate start,
                                   AbsoluteDate end)

Extract a range of the map.

The object returned will be a new independent instance that will contain only the transitions that lie in the specified range.

Consider for example a map containing objects O₀ valid before t₁, O₁ valid between t₁ and t₂, O₂ valid between t₂ and t₃, O₃ valid between t₃ and t₄, and O₄ valid after t₄. then calling this method with a start date between t₁ and t₂ and a end date between t₃ and t₄ will result in a new map containing objects O₁ valid before t₂, O₂ valid between t₂ and t₃, and O₃ valid after t₃. The validity of O₁ is therefore extended in the past, and the validity of O₃ is extended in the future.

Parameters:

start - earliest date at which a transition is included in the range (may be set to AbsoluteDate.PAST_INFINITY to keep all early transitions)

end - latest date at which a transition is included in the r (may be set to AbsoluteDate.FUTURE_INFINITY to keep all late transitions)

Returns:

a new instance with all transitions restricted to the specified range

getTransitions

public NavigableSet<TimeSpanMap.Transition<T>> getTransitions()

Get an unmodifiable view of the sorted transitions.

Returns:

unmodifiable view of the sorted transitions
