public class Twilight
extends AbstractValue
implements ParameterDepending, Increasing, Decreasing, Reloadable

A twilight parameter measures the time prior and after roof opening/closing. As an example, consider opening/closing of the roof at an solar height of -6 deg (see KEY_RISETWILIGHT). If the current solar height is above this value, this parameter gives the time it will require the sun to either reach this height or the time that has passed since the sun was at this height, whatever time is smaller. If the solar height is below the target value of KEY_RISETWILIGHT, a negative time is returned.

Constructor Detail

Twilight

public Twilight(Map<String,String> prop)

Constructs a new twilight parameter. Defaults its name, the solar-z parameter name and the opening/closing height.

Method Detail

rescanned

public double rescanned(String key,
                        String old,
                        String newval)

As any parameter depending instance we fail if the parameter we depend on is now a different one.

Specified by:

rescanned in interface Reloadable

Overrides:

rescanned in class AbstractParameter

setValue

public Number setValue(Number val)
                throws UnsupportedOperationException

Sets the twilight time. The twilight time is a read-only variable, therefore this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Value

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException

getValue

public Number getValue()

Returns the twilight time in ms. The twilight time is the time remaining/passed to the next/last opening/closing of the roof. During night time, a negative value is returned. Null is returned if no solar height has been registered to this parameter.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Value

registerParameter

public void registerParameter(Parameter what)

Registers the required additional globals for the twilight time. For this particular object, a solarz parameter is needed. Both, type and name are checked.

Specified by:

registerParameter in interface ParameterDepending

getDescendTime

public Long getDescendTime(Number until)

Returns the time until the twilight reaches the given value from above. If the current value is higher than the target value, the simple difference is returned, otherwise the agumention to one day is returned.

Specified by:

getDescendTime in interface Decreasing

Parameters:

until - The value in the future.

Returns:

A double carrying the remaining time or null if the time cannot be calculated.

getAscendTime

public Long getAscendTime(Number until)

Returns the time until the twilight reaches the given value from below. If the current value is lower than the target value, the simple difference is returned, otherwise the agumention to one day is returned.

Specified by:

getAscendTime in interface Increasing

Parameters:

until - The value in the future.

Returns:

A double carrying the remaining time or null if the time cannot be calculated.

getFormatted

public String getFormatted()

Returns the remaining twilight time as a formatted string. The twilight time returned is the time rounded to seconds, not ms.

Specified by:

getFormatted in interface Parameter

Overrides:

getFormatted in class AbstractParameter
