96 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Abs}\label{wxtimespanabs}
97
98 \constfunc{wxTimeSpan}{Abs}{\void}
99
100 Returns the absolute value of the timespan: does not modify the
101 object.
102
103
104 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Add}\label{wxtimespanadd}

108 \func{wxTimeSpan\&}{Add}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\& }{diff}}
109
110 \func{wxTimeSpan\&}{operator$+=$}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\&}{diff}}
111
112 Returns the sum of two timespans.
113
114
115 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Days}\label{wxtimespandays}
116
117 \func{static wxTimespan}{Days}{\param{long }{days}}
118
119 Returns the timespan for the given number of days.
120
121
122 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Day}\label{wxtimespanday}
123
124 \func{static wxTimespan}{Day}{\void}
125
126 Returns the timespan for one day.
127
128
129 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Format}\label{wxtimespanformat}
130
131 \func{wxString}{Format}{\param{const wxChar * }{format = wxDefaultTimeSpanFormat}}
132
133 Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.
134 The following format specifiers are allowed after \%:
135
136 \twocolwidtha{5cm}%
137 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
138 \twocolitem{H}{number of {\bf H}ours}
139 \twocolitem{M}{number of {\bf M}inutes}
140 \twocolitem{S}{number of {\bf S}econds}
141 \twocolitem{l}{number of mi{\bf l}liseconds}
142 \twocolitem{D}{number of {\bf D}ays}
143 \twocolitem{E}{number of w{\bf E}eks}
144 \twocolitem{\%}{the percent character}
145 \end{twocollist}
146
147 Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not
148 well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a
149 time span of $50$ hours this would be $50$) or just the hour part of the time
150 span, which would be $2$ in this case as $50$ hours is equal to $2$ days and
151 $2$ hours.
152
153 wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been,
154 indeed, the {\tt \%D} format specified preceding the {\tt \%H}, then it is
155 interpreted as $2$. Otherwise, it is $50$.
156
157 The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of
158 larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.
