-- | This module provides types and functions for defining intervals and -- determining how they relate to each other. This can be useful to determine -- if an event happened during a certain time frame, or if two time frames -- overlap (and if so, how exactly they overlap). -- -- There are many other packages on Hackage that deal with intervals, notably -- [data-interval](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/data-interval) and -- [intervals](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/intervals). You may prefer -- one of them for more general interval operations. This module is more -- focused on how intervals relate to each other. -- -- This module was inspired by James F. Allen's report, -- /Maintaining Knowledge About Temporal Intervals/. It also uses terminology -- from that report. You should not need to read the report in order to -- understand this module, but if you want to read it you can find it here: -- <https://hdl.handle.net/1802/10574>. module Rampart ( Interval , toInterval , fromInterval , lesser , greater , Relation(..) , relate , invert ) where -- | This type represents an interval bounded by two values, the 'lesser' and -- the 'greater'. These values can be anything with an 'Ord' instance: numbers, -- times, strings — you name it. -- -- Use 'toInterval' to construct an interval and 'fromInterval' to deconstruct -- one.
