TimeBase

- com.kitfox.svg.animation.TimeBase

Direct Known Subclasses:

TimeCompound, TimeDiscrete, TimeIndefinite, TimeLookup, TimeSum
```
public abstract class TimeBase
extends java.lang.Object
```
SVG has a complicated way of specifying time. Potentially, a time could be represened as a summation of discrete times and times of other animation events. This provides a root for the many elements we will need to define time.

  - evalTime
```
public abstract double evalTime()
```
    Calculates the (greater than or equal to 0) time in seconds this time represents. If the time cannot be determined, returns Double.NaN. If this represents an infinte amount of time, returns Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY.

```
public void setParentElement(AnimationElement ele)
```
    Some time elements need to refer to the animation element that contains them to evaluate correctly
