Method Detail

northernLatitude

public LunarTime.Builder northernLatitude(int degrees,
                                          int minutes,
                                          double seconds)

Sets the northern latitude in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds.

Parameters:

degrees - degrees in range 0 <= x <= 90

minutes - arc minutes in range 0 <= x < 60

seconds - arc seconds in range 0.0 <= x < 60.0

Returns:

this instance for method chaining

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is out of range

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the latitude has already been set

                                          int minutes,
                                          double seconds)

Sets the southern latitude in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds.

Parameters:

degrees - degrees in range 0 <= x <= 90

minutes - arc minutes in range 0 <= x < 60

seconds - arc seconds in range 0.0 <= x < 60.0

Returns:

this instance for method chaining

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is out of range

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the latitude has already been set

easternLongitude

public LunarTime.Builder easternLongitude(int degrees,
                                          int minutes,
                                          double seconds)

Sets the eastern longitude in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds.

Parameters:

degrees - degrees in range 0 <= x < 180

minutes - arc minutes in range 0 <= x < 60

seconds - arc seconds in range 0.0 <= x < 60.0

westernLongitude(int, int, double)

westernLongitude

public LunarTime.Builder westernLongitude(int degrees,
                                          int minutes,
                                          double seconds)

Sets the western longitude in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds.

Parameters:

degrees - degrees in range 0 <= x <= 180

minutes - arc minutes in range 0 <= x < 60

seconds - arc seconds in range 0.0 <= x < 60.0

Returns:

this instance for method chaining

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is out of range

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the longitude has already been set

See Also:

easternLongitude(int, int, double)

atAltitude

public LunarTime.Builder atAltitude(int altitude)

Sets the altitude in meters.

The altitude is used to model a geodetic correction as well as a refraction correction based on the simple assumption of a standard atmosphere. Users should keep in mind that the local topology with mountains breaking the horizon line and special weather conditions cannot be taken into account.

Attention: Users should also apply an algorithm which is capable of altitude corrections.

Parameters:

altitude - geographical altitude relative to sea level in meters (0 <= x < 11,0000)

Returns:

this instance for method chaining

build

public LunarTime build()

Finishes the build-process.

Returns:

new configured instance of LunarTime

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if either latitude or longitude have not yet been set
