ABORT Printing infinite intervals is not supported by this style and will throw an IllegalStateException.
HYPHEN The hyphen "-" will be used for infinite past as well as for infinite future.
MIN_MAX The minimum and maximum of the underlying time axis (timeline) are used instead of the infinite boundaries.
SYMBOL The mathematical symbols "-∞" (infinite past) or "+∞" (infinite future) will be used.

Enum Constant Detail

ABORT

public static final InfinityStyle ABORT

Printing infinite intervals is not supported by this style and will throw an IllegalStateException.

SYMBOL

public static final InfinityStyle SYMBOL

The mathematical symbols "-∞" (infinite past) or "+∞" (infinite future) will be used.

HYPHEN

public static final InfinityStyle HYPHEN

The hyphen "-" will be used for infinite past as well as for infinite future.

MIN_MAX

public static final InfinityStyle MIN_MAX

The minimum and maximum of the underlying time axis (timeline) are used instead of the infinite boundaries.

This style is syntactically in agreement with strict ISO-8601 standard (which does not know infinite intervals at all).

Method Detail

values

public static InfinityStyle[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (InfinityStyle c : InfinityStyle.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static InfinityStyle valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
