timedim (Mapping Toolbox)

Convert times between different units

Syntax

timeout = timedim(anglin,from,to)

Description

timeout = timedim(timein,from,to) returns the value of the input time timein, which is in units specified by the valid time units string from, in the desired units given by the valid time units string to. Valid time units strings are:

'hours' or 'hr'        for decimal hours
'seconds' or 'sec'     for seconds
'hms'                  for hours-minutes-seconds
'hm'                   for hours-minutes

Examples

Convert from hours to seconds:

timedim(2.56,'hours','seconds')
ans =
        9216

What is the difference between hms and hm? (best displayed in bank format)

format bank
timedim(2.56,'hours','hms')
ans =
        233.36

timedim(2.56,'hours','hm')
ans =
        234.00

The hm answer is the hms answer correctly rounded to whole minutes
(i.e., rounded based on 60 seconds per minute, not 100).
