Interface TimeData

public interface TimeData

Interface for dealing with the different types of displayable data in seismology, including seismograms, picks, predicted arrivals, etc. Each of these will implement this interface which can be used when they are displayed, etc. Created: Tue Jul 6 14:42:24 1999

Method Detail

getBeginTime

MicroSecondDate getBeginTime()

returns the earliest time for which this object "has data". For a seismogram, this is the time of the first data point, while for a pick it would be the time of the pick.

getTimeInterval

TimeInterval getTimeInterval()

returns the width in time for this object. For a seismogram, this would be the time from the first sample to the last sample, while for a pick, this would be 0 and whatever time unit is handy. 0 seconds would likely be the best choice.

getAmplitudeRange

UnitRangeImpl getAmplitudeRange()

returns the range of amplitudes for this object. For a seismogram, this would be the range of amplitudes in whatever units the seismogram is in. For things without amplitudes, for example picks, this would return null.
