====== Date Type ======

A Date value represents a calendar date — for example, [[Set Kml Timeline]]'s ''beginTime'' and ''endTime'' inputs use it to bound the period a georeferenced image applies to within a [[Kml Timeline Type|Kml Timeline]]. A Date can represent a year alone (''YYYY''), a year and month (''YYYY-MM''), or a complete date (''YYYY-MM-DD'').

===== GUI Editor =====

Date Type has no editor. A value can only be obtained through the automatic conversion below, never typed in directly.

===== EGO Script =====

For the same reason, Date Type has no literal constant syntax in [[EGO Script]] — see [[ego_script#constants|Constants]]. A Date value is obtained through an automatic conversion from [[Real Value Type|Real Value]] or [[String Type|String]] wherever a Date Type input is expected:

<code>
timeline := SetKmlTimeline {
    kml = georeferencedImage,
    beginTime = "2020-01",
    endTime = "2020-12-31"
};
</code>

===== Automatic Conversions =====

  * **Converted from**: [[Real Value Type]] and [[String Type]].

  * **Converted to**: None.

See [[type_system|Type System]] for the complete conversion reference across all types.
