87 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Abs}\label{wxtimespanabs}
88
89 \constfunc{wxTimeSpan}{Abs}{\void}
90
91 Returns the absolute value of the timespan: does not modify the
92 object.
93
94 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Add}\label{wxtimespanadd}
95
96 \constfunc{wxTimeSpan}{Add}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\& }{diff}}

99
100 \func{wxTimeSpan\&}{operator$+=$}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\&}{diff}}
101
102 Returns the sum of two timespans.
103
104 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Days}\label{wxtimespandays}
105
106 \func{static wxTimespan}{Days}{\param{long }{days}}
107
108 Returns the timespan for the given number of days.
109
110 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Day}\label{wxtimespanday}
111
112 \func{static wxTimespan}{Day}{\void}
113
114 Returns the timespan for one day.
115
116 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Format}\label{wxtimespanformat}
117
118 \func{wxString}{Format}{\param{const wxChar * }{format = wxDefaultTimeSpanFormat}}
119
120 Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.
121 The following format specifiers are allowed after \%:
122
123 \twocolwidtha{5cm}%
124 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
125 \twocolitem{H}{number of {\bf H}ours}
126 \twocolitem{M}{number of {\bf M}inutes}
127 \twocolitem{S}{number of {\bf S}econds}
128 \twocolitem{l}{number of mi{\bf l}liseconds}
129 \twocolitem{D}{number of {\bf D}ays}
130 \twocolitem{E}{number of w{\bf E}eks}
131 \twocolitem{\%}{the percent character}
132 \end{twocollist}
133
134 Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not
135 well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a
136 time span of $50$ hours this would be $50$) or just the hour part of the time
137 span, which would be $2$ in this case as $50$ hours is equal to $2$ days and
138 $2$ hours.
139
140 wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been,
141 indeed, the {\tt \%D} format specified preceding the {\tt \%H}, then it is
142 interpreted as $2$. Otherwise, it is $50$.
143
144 The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of
145 larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.
