OverlapType CosTime::TIO::overlaps	(	in TIO	interval,
		out TIO	overlap
	)

Calculates the overlap between two TIOs.

interval - the TIO to compare to this one. overlap - set to the intersection of the two TIOs if there is overlap.

Returns:

OTContainer if 'interval' falls entirely within this TIO, OTContained if this TIO falls entirely within 'interval', OTOverlap if there is partial overlap or OTNoOverlap if there is none.

OverlapType CosTime::TIO::spans	(	in UTO	time,
		out TIO	overlap
	)

Calculates the overlap between this TIO and a UTO.

time - the UTO to compare with this interval. overlap - set to the intersection of this interval and 'time', if there is overlap.

Returns:

OTContainer if the UTO falls entirely within this TIO, OTContained if this TIO falls entirely within the UTO, OTOverlap if there is partial overlap or OTNoOverlap if there is none.

UTO CosTime::TIO::time

(

)

Converts this TIO into a UTO.

Returns:

A UTO, with the time set to the midpoint of the interval, the error set so that it includes the range of the interval and the timezone set to the local timezone.
