TimeFrameUnion

Inherits TimeFrame

This TimeFrame class will accept the union of all passed-in TimeFrames. This means that this TimeFrame will be active if at least one of the child TimeFrames is active and it will be inactive if none of the child TimeFrames are active.

This can be used to create more complex TimeFrames that are made up of several, simpler TimeFrames themselves.

Members

Name	Documentation	Type	Description	Optional
TimeFrames	A vector of time frames to combine into one. The time frame is active when any of the contained time frames are, but not in gaps between contained time frames.	Table	Table parameters	No

Asset Examples

-- Basic
-- This example creates a union out of two simpler TimeFrameIntervals and uses it for a
-- SceneGraphNode. The first TimeFrameInterval covers January 1st, 2000 and the second
-- TimeFrameInterval covers March 1st, 2002. The resulting TimeFrameUnion will cover both
-- January 1st, 2000 and March 1st, 2002.
