TimeIntervalCollection

new TimeIntervalCollection()

A non-overlapping collection of TimeIntervals sorted by start date.
See:

Members

changedEvent :Event

Gets an event that is raised whenever the collection of intervals change.

empty :Boolean

Returns true if the collection is empty, false otherwise.

length :Number

Gets the number of intervals in the collection.

start :JulianDate

Gets the start date of the collection.

stop :JulianDate

Gets the stop date of the collection.

Methods

addInterval(interval, equalsCallback)

Adds an interval to the collection, merging intervals that contain the same data and splitting intervals of different data as needed in order to maintain a non-overlapping collection. The data in the new interval takes precedence over any existing intervals in the collection.
Name Type Description
interval TimeInterval The interval to add.
equalsCallback function optional An optional function which takes the data from two TimeIntervals and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise. If this function is not provided, the Javascript equality operator is used.

contains(date)

Returns true if the specified date is contained in the interval collection.
Name Type Description
date JulianDate The date to search for.
Returns:
True if the specified date is contained in the interval collection, undefined otherwise.

equals(right, dataComparer)Boolean

Compares the provided TimeIntervalCollections and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
right TimeInterval optional The right hand side collection.
dataComparer function optional A function which compares the data for each interval in the collection. If ommitted, reference equality is used.
Returns:
true if left and right are equal, false otherwise.

findDataForIntervalContainingDate(date)

Returns the data for the interval which contains the specified date.
Name Type Description
date JulianDate The date to search for.
Returns:
The data for the interval containing the specified date, or undefined if no such interval exists.

findInterval(start, stop, isStartIncluded, isStopIncluded)

Returns the first interval in the collection that matches the specified parameters. All parameters are optional and undefined parameters are treated as a don't care condition.
Name Type Description
start JulianDate optional The start of the interval.
stop JulianDate optional The end of the interval.
isStartIncluded JulianDate optional True if the start date is included.
isStopIncluded JulianDate optional True if the stop date is included.
Returns:
The first interval in the collection that matches the specified parameters.

findIntervalContainingDate(date)

Returns the interval which contains the specified date.
Name Type Description
date JulianDate The date to search for.
Returns:
The interval containing the specified date, undefined if no such interval exists.

get(index)TimeInterval

Gets the interval at the specified index.
Name Type Description
index Number The index of the interval to retrieve.
Returns:
The TimeInterval at the specified index, or undefined if no such index exists.
Throws:

indexOf(date)

Returns the index of the interval in the collection that contains the specified date.
Name Type Description
date JulianDate The date to search for.
Returns:
The index of the interval which contains the specified date, if no such interval exists, it returns a negative number which is the bitwise complement of the index of the next interval that starts after the date, or if no interval starts after the specified date, the bitwise complement of the length of the collection.

intersect(timeIntervalCollection, equalsCallback, mergeCallback)

Creates a new TimeIntervalCollection which is the intersection of this collection and the provided collection.
Name Type Description
timeIntervalCollection TimeIntervalCollection The collection to intersect with.
equalsCallback function optional An optional function which takes the data from two TimeIntervals and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise. If this function is not provided, the Javascript equality operator is used.
mergeCallback function optional An optional function which takes the data from two TimeIntervals and returns a merged version of the data. If this parameter is omitted, the interval data from this collection will be used.
Returns:
A new TimeIntervalCollection which is the intersection of this collection and the provided collection.

intersectInterval(interval, equalsCallback, mergeCallback)

Creates a new TimeIntervalCollection which is the intersection of this collection and the provided interval.
Name Type Description
interval TimeInterval The interval to intersect with.
equalsCallback function optional An optional function which takes the data from two TimeIntervals and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise. If this function is not provided, the equality operator will be used.
mergeCallback function optional An optional function which takes the data from two TimeIntervals and returns a merged version of the data. If this parameter is omitted, the interval data from this collection will be used.
Returns:
A new TimeIntervalCollection which is the intersection of this collection and the provided collection.

removeAll()

Removes all intervals from the collection.

removeInterval(interval)

Removes the specified interval from this interval collection, creating a hole over the specified interval. The Data property of the input interval is ignored.
Name Type Description
interval TimeInterval The interval to remove.
Returns:
true if the interval was removed, false if no part of the interval was in the collection.
