public interface Anchorable
The Anchorable interface provides a set of basic operations available on Anchorable values such as instants and periods.

Method Index

o asInstantArray()
Retrieve the Instants from this AnchorablePoint.
o asPeriodArray()
Retrieve the Periods from this AnchorableSegment.
o earliestInstant()
Returns the earliest Instant in the AnchorablePoint.
o earliestPeriod()
Returns the earliest Period in the AnchorableSegment.
o enumerateInstants()
Create an Enumeration of Instants on the Anchorable.
o enumeratePeriods()
Create an Enumeration of Periods on the Anchorable.
o equals(Anchorable)
Test for equality, needed only for supporting Hashtables, use equalTo for comparing Anchorables directly.
o hashCode()
Generate the hash code value, needed for supporting Hashtables.
o image()
Build a nice string image of an Anchorable, for debugging mostly.
o kind()
What kind of Anchorable is this?
o latestInstant()
Returns the latest AnchorablePoint in the AnchorablePoint.
o latestPeriod()
Returns the latest Period in the AnchorableSegment.
o newInstance(String, Instant[])
Construct a new instance of this Anchorable, Unanchorable combination.
o newInstance(String, Period[])
Construct a new instance of this Anchorable, Unanchorable combination.

Methods

o image 
  public abstract String image()
