TimeCoding (SNAP Engine API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConstantTimeCoding, LineTimeCoding, PixelTimeCoding
```
public interface TimeCoding
```
The TimeCoding interface allows to convert pixel coordinates to time values and vice versa (if possible).

Since:

SNAP 2.0

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default boolean`	`canGetPixelPos()`	Determines whether this `TimeCoding` is capable of converting time values into pixel positions.
`double`	`getMJD(PixelPos pixelPos)`	Gets the time for a given pixel position as Modified Julian Day 2000 (MJD2000).
`default PixelPos`	`getPixelPos(double mjd, PixelPos pixelPos)`	Gets a pixel position associated with a time value given as Modified Julian Day 2000 (MJD2000).

- Method Detail
  - getMJD
```
double getMJD(PixelPos pixelPos)
```
    Gets the time for a given pixel position as Modified Julian Day 2000 (MJD2000).
    
    Parameters:
    
    pixelPos - The pixel position in units of a given raster data node
    
    Returns:
    
    The time as Modified Julian Day 2000 (MJD2000).

    ProductData.UTC.getMJD(), getPixelPos(double, PixelPos)
  - canGetPixelPos
```
default boolean canGetPixelPos()
```
    Determines whether this TimeCoding is capable of converting time values into pixel positions.
    
    Returns:
    
    true, if so.

    getPixelPos(double, PixelPos)
  - getPixelPos
```
default PixelPos getPixelPos(double mjd,
                             PixelPos pixelPos)
```
    Gets a pixel position associated with a time value given as Modified Julian Day 2000 (MJD2000).
    
    Parameters:
    
    mjd - The time as Modified Julian Day 2000 (MJD2000).
    
    pixelPos - The pixel position to be modified and returned. If null a new instance will be created and returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    The pixel position, or null if this TimeCoding cannot compute pixel positions from time values.
