🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. listen. 🫶

this is a multiple-value field that contains any number of time values. she's flexible, she's generous, she's giving range.

SoSFTimes (plural, the whole squad) get written to file as a double-precision floating point value representing the length of time in seconds. and if you're dealing with absolute times?? those are measured relative to 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970. the epoch. the origin story. iykyk. ⭐

💅 METHODS 💅

• static SoType getClassTypeId()
• virtual void getTypeId() const

Returns the type for this class or a particular object of this class. basically "who is she" but for types. 💁

• const SbTime & getValue() const

Returns this field's value. the main character reveal. 👑

• const SbTime & operator =(const SbTime & newValue)
• void setValue(const SbTime & newValue)

Sets this field to newValue. glow-up complete, periodt. ✨

• int operator ==(const SoSFTime &f) const
• int operator !=(const SoSFTime &f) const

Returns TRUE if f is of the same type and has the same value as this field. not just same vibe — same type, same value, fr fr. 😤
