Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
InternationalString	getInterval()	Identifies the base interval for this temporal coordinate system as a unit of measure specified by ISO 31-1, or a multiple of one of those units, as specified by ISO 1000.
Date	getOrigin()	Position of the origin of the scale on which the temporal coordinate system is based expressed as a date in the Gregorian calendar and time of day in UTC.
Date	transformCoord(TemporalCoordinate coordinates)	Transforms a value of a coordinate within this temporal coordinate system and returns the equivalent date and time in the Gregorian Calendar and UTC
TemporalCoordinate	transformDateTime(Date datetime)	Transforms a date and time in the Gregorian Calendar and UTC to an equivalent coordinate within this temporal coordinate system.
