NAME

6       plctime  - Calculate continuous time from broken-down time for the cur‐
7       rent stream
8

SYNOPSIS

10       plctime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec, ctime)
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Calculate continuous time, ctime, from broken-down time for the current
14       stream.  The broken-down time is specified by the following parameters:
15       year, month, day, hour, min, and sec. This function is the  inverse  of
16       plbtime(3plplot).
17
18       The  PLplot definition of broken-down time is a calendar time that com‐
19       pletely ignores all time zone offsets, i.e., it is the user's responsi‐
20       bility  to  apply those offsets (if so desired) before using the PLplot
21       time API.  By default broken-down time is defined using  the  proleptic
22       Gregorian calendar without the insertion of leap seconds and continuous
23       time is defined as the number  of  seconds  since  the  Unix  epoch  of
24       1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.  However,  other  definitions  of broken-down and
25       continuous time are possible, see plconfigtime(3plplot) which specifies
26       that transformation for the current stream.
