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.

       ctime (PLFLT *, output)
              Continous time calculated from the broken-down time specified by the previous parameters.
