Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Duration	distance(TemporalGeometricPrimitive other) Returns the distance from this temporal geometric primitive to another temporal geometric primitive.
Duration	length() Return the duration of this temporal geometric primitive.

Method Detail

distance

@UML(identifier="distance",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Duration distance(TemporalGeometricPrimitive other)

Returns the distance from this temporal geometric primitive to another temporal geometric primitive. This is the absolute value of the difference b/n their temporal positions.

length

@UML(identifier="length",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Duration length()

Return the duration of this temporal geometric primitive.
