NAME

       plctime - Calculate continuous time from broken-down time for the current stream

SYNOPSIS

       plctime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, ctime)

DESCRIPTION

       Calculate  continuous time, ctime, from broken-down time for the current stream.  The broken-down time is
       specified by the following parameters: year, month, day, hour, min, and sec. This function is the inverse
       of plbtime(3plplot).

       The  PLplot  definition  of  broken-down  time  is  a calendar time that completely ignores all time zone
       offsets, i.e., it is the user's responsibility to apply those offsets (if so desired)  before  using  the
       PLplot  time  API.  By default broken-down time is defined using the proleptic Gregorian calendar without
       the insertion of leap seconds and continuous time is defined as the number  of  seconds  since  the  Unix
       epoch  of  1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.  However,  other  definitions  of  broken-down  and  continuous time are
       possible, see plconfigtime(3plplot) which specifies that transformation for the current stream.

       Redacted form: General: plctime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, ctime) Perl/PDL: Not available?

       This function is used in example 29.

ARGUMENTS

              Input year.

       month (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Input month in range from 0 (January) to 11 (December).

       day (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Input day in range from 1 to 31.

       hour (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Input hour in range from 0 to 23

       min (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Input minute in range from 0 to 59.

       sec (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
              Input second in range from 0. to 60.

       ctime (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of the continuous time calculated  from  the  broken-down  time  specified  by  the
              previous parameters.
