Time::TT::InterpolatingRealisation - TT realised by interpolation
use Time::TT::InterpolatingRealisation; $rln = Time::TT::InterpolatingRealisation->new($interpolator); $tai_instant = $rln->to_tai($instant); $instant = $rln->from_tai($tai_instant); $rln1_instant = $rln0->to_realisation($rln1, $rln0_instant); $rln0_instant = $rln0->from_realisation($rln1, $rln1_instant);
This class implements a realisation of Terrestrial Time (TT) by interpolation between known points of correlation between the realisation and International Atomic Time (TAI). See Time::TT::Realisation for the interface.
Normally one won't use this constructor directly. See the tt_realisation function in Time::TT, which will construct a range of published realisations, most of which are implemented using this class. Use this directly only if the realisation that you desire is not available by that means.
tt_realisation
Constructs and returns an object representing a realisation of TT that is defined by isolated points of correlation between it and TAI. The INTERPOLATOR argument must be an object of a subclass of Math::Interpolator, supplying the x and y methods. The x coordinate of the interpolator's curve must represent TAI, and the y coordinate the realisation of interest. Times on both coordinates are represented as the number of seconds since the 1958 epoch, as described in Time::TT. All numbers must be Math::BigRat objects.

Math::BigRat
The class Time::TT::OffsetKnot may be useful in building the required interpolator.
Time::TT::OffsetKnot
These methods are part of the standard Time::TT::Realisation interface.
