100 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Abs}\label{wxtimespanabs}
101

103
104 Returns the absolute value of the timespan: does not modify the
105 object.
106
107
108 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Add}\label{wxtimespanadd}
109
110 \constfunc{wxTimeSpan}{Add}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\& }{diff}}
111
112 \func{wxTimeSpan\&}{Add}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\& }{diff}}
113
114 \func{wxTimeSpan\&}{operator$+=$}{\param{const wxTimeSpan\&}{diff}}
115
116 Returns the sum of two timespans.
117
118
119 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Days}\label{wxtimespandays}
120
121 \func{static wxTimespan}{Days}{\param{long }{days}}
122
123 Returns the timespan for the given number of days.
124
125
126 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Day}\label{wxtimespanday}
127
128 \func{static wxTimespan}{Day}{\void}
129
130 Returns the timespan for one day.
131
132
133 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Format}\label{wxtimespanformat}
134
135 \func{wxString}{Format}{\param{const wxChar * }{format = wxDefaultTimeSpanFormat}}
136
137 Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.
138 The following format specifiers are allowed after \%:
139
140 \twocolwidtha{5cm}%
141 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
142 \twocolitem{H}{number of {\bf H}ours}
143 \twocolitem{M}{number of {\bf M}inutes}
144 \twocolitem{S}{number of {\bf S}econds}
145 \twocolitem{l}{number of mi{\bf l}liseconds}
146 \twocolitem{D}{number of {\bf D}ays}
147 \twocolitem{E}{number of w{\bf E}eks}
148 \twocolitem{\%}{the percent character}
149 \end{twocollist}
150
151 Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not
152 well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a
153 time span of $50$ hours this would be $50$) or just the hour part of the time
154 span, which would be $2$ in this case as $50$ hours is equal to $2$ days and
155 $2$ hours.
156
157 wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been,
158 indeed, the {\tt \%D} format specified preceding the {\tt \%H}, then it is
159 interpreted as $2$. Otherwise, it is $50$.
160
161 The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of
162 larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.
