Index of first time step. Currently not used, always zero.

Number of time steps in the file

Start time of the file.

Start time in TimeUnit for the first time step in the file.

This can only be set for the equidistant type axes.

For the non-equidistant type time axis this is for information, returning the time of the first time step relative to the start time.

Time axis type. Based on this, the class must implement one of the sub-types.

Time span length of all data in file, in unit described by TimeUnit

Unit of time axis.

Get the end date time for a non-equidistant calendar axis.

Return an array of DateTimes which are the times for each timestep.

For non-equidistant axis, only the first and the last time are populated correctly. The rest are populated with MinValue.

For time type axis, first time is StartTimeOffsetInSeconds(IDfsTemporalAxis) after MinValue.

Return an array of doubles which are the the number of seconds since the start time for each timestep.

For non-equidistant axis, only the first and the last time are populated correctly. The rest are populated with -1

For time type axis, first time is StartTimeOffsetInSeconds(IDfsTemporalAxis)

Returns true if the temporal axis is a calendar axis

Returns true if the temporal axis is equidistant.

Return the start time offset in seconds

Time span of all data in file, in unit described by TimeUnit.

The StartTimeOffset is not included in the span. The span starts at the time of the StartTimeOffset

Convenience method that returns/calculates the time span consistently for all types of time axes,

Calculate the time span as a System.TimeSpan

Calculate the time span in seconds

Calculate the time step in seconds for an equidistant temporal axis.

If the time axis is not equidistant, zero is returned.

If the time axis unit can not be converted to seconds, an exception is thrown

Returns the relativeTime as a DateTime. The time axis must be a calendar type axis.

Returns the dateTime in relative seconds from the start time of the time axis, in the unit used by the file. The time axis must be a calendar type axis.

Note that for the equidistant axes, the first time step may be offset (see StartTimeOffset), however the time returned here is relative to the start time and not the first time step. This is matching the time returned by the read methods (Time).

Converts a time value in seconds to a time value in the unit of the temporal axis.

Returns the dateTime in relative time from the start time of the time axis, in the unit used by the file. The time axis must be a calendar type axis.

Note that for the equidistant axes, the first time step may be offset (see StartTimeOffset), however the time returned here is relative to the start time and not the first time step. This is matching the time returned by the read methods (Time).

Converts a time value in the unit of the temporal axis (TimeUnit) to a time value in seconds.

Returns a factor for converting from a time value in the specified time unit to a time value in seconds.

For month and year time units, the factor is not uniquely defined, and may not return the value you want to use.
