[vtk-developers] TimePointUtility Testing

[Bill Lorensen]

Jeff,

I think I see the problem. My test does the following:

1) compute a time point for month, day, year
2) convert that time point to ISO8601
3) convert the ISO string back to a time point

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO8601 usually does not
support +/- in front of the year.

So it's not really a bug, but a convention.

For now, I'll make sure my test doesn't generate negative years.

Although working with negative years and trying to convert them is probably
not a typical use case.

Perhaps the documentation for the ISO conversions should be updated. Not a
high priority.

Bill
