Enclosing interface:

NAMES

public static interface NAMES.TYPENAMES

The TYPENAMES interface defines the names of all system-defined types used in SIRA_PRISE. The doc for each individual type named includes a short description of the system-provided type, an overview of its possreps and components, plus a link to the implementation doc. In the overview of each type's possreps, the possreps marked (D) are the default ones, these will be used for externalizing values of the type.

Field Detail

ANGLE

static final java.lang.String ANGLE

Type ANGLE is the set of trigonometric angle values in a 2D plane. Initially provided only to demonstrate the plug-in type capabilities of SIRA_PRISE, now fully part of the system. For implementation details, see the typeimplementations doc.

DATE

static final java.lang.String DATE

Type DATE is intended to represent calendar dates. Note that there are no provisions, neither in the type nor in the operators provided for it, for dealing with any kind of issues that are calendar-specific (e.g. local date of introduction of the Gregorian calendar etc.). For implementation details, see the typeimplementations doc.
