Time Graph
Simple Time Graph using ActiveOrient/OrientDB.
This Graph is realized
Jahr -- [MONTH_OF] -- Monat --[DAY_OF]-- Tag --[TIME_OF]-- StundeThe nodes are crosslinked and any point of the grid is easily accessed.
The library provides »to_tg« additions to »Date«, »DateTime« and »String«. Thus
z = "22.3.2003".to_tg
=> #<TG::Tag:0x000000030d79d0 @metadata={"type"=>"d", "class"=>"tag", "version"=>4, "fieldTypes"=>"in_grid_of=g,out_grid_of=g,in_day_of=g", "cluster"=>25, "record"=>294}, @d=nil, @attributes={"value"=>22, "in_grid_of" =>["#49:304"], "out_grid_of"=>["#50:304"], "in_day_of"=>["#41:294"], "created_at"=>Mon, 12 Sep 2016 09:56:41 +0200}>
z.datum => Sat, 22 Mar 2003 (returns a Date)
z.next.datum => Sun, 23 Mar 2003
( z + 3 ).datum => Tue, 25 Mar 2003
z.prev.datum => Fri, 21 Mar 2003
(z - 5 ).datum => Mon, 17 Mar 2003
z.move( -20 ).datum => Sun, 02 Mar 2003
z.environment( 5).datum
=> ["18.5.2003", "19.5.2003", "20.5.2003", "21.5.2003", "22.5.2003", "23.5.2003", "24.5.2003", "25.5.2003", "26.5.2003", "27.5.2003", "28.5.2003"]
(datum is a method of TG::Day)
Prerequisites :
- Ruby 2.5 (or 2.6) and OrientDB 3.0
- Install and setup ruby via RVM (rvm.io) OrientDB
- Run "bundle install" and "bundle update"
- customize config/connect.yml
or start a new project and require the gem in the usual manner.
Edges must be configurated with the following capitalising naming-convention
class E
def self.naming_convention name=nil
name.present? ? name.upcase : ref_name.upcase
end
end- Initialize the data-structure by
TG::Setup.init_database »OrientDB Database instance«(eg. ORD) - After restarting the application, populate the timegraph by
TG::TimeGraph.populate 2015..2030 - In your Script activate the timegraph through
TG.connect
To play around, start the console by
cd bin
./console t # test-modus
call TG::Init_database and restart the console
The following database classes are build
- E # ruby-class
- - month_of TG::MONTH_OF
- - day_of TG::DAY_OF
- - time_of TG::TIME_OF
- - grid_of TG::GRID_OF
- V
- - time_base TG::TimeBase
- - - jahr TG::Jahr
- - - monat TG::Monat
- - - stunde TG::Stunde
- - - tag TG::TagThe graph is populated by calling
TG::TimeGraph.populate( a single year or a range ) # default: 1900 .. 2050(restart the console after this and check if all classes are assigned)
If only one year is specified, a Monat--Tag--Stunde-Grid is build, otherwise a Jahr--Monat--Tag one. You can check the Status by calling
TG::TimeGraph.populate 2000..2003
TG.info
-------------- TIME GRAPH ------------------
Allocated Years :
2000; 2001; 2002; 2003 In the Model-directory, customized methods simplify the usage of the graph.
Some Examples: Assuming, you build a standard day-based grid
include TG # we can omit the TG prefix
Jahr[2000] # --> returns a single object
=> #<TG::Jahr:0x00000004ced160 @metadata={"type"=>"d", "class"=>"jahr", "version"=>13, "fieldTypes"=>"out_month_of=g", "cluster"=>34, "record"=>101}, @d=nil, @attributes={"value"=>2000, "out_month_of"=>["#53:1209", "#54:1209", "#55:1209", "#56:1209", "#53:1210", "#54:1210", "#55:1210", "#56:1210", "#53:1211", "#54:1211", "#55:1211", "#56:1211"], "created_at"=>Fri, 09 Sep 2016 10:14:30 +0200}>
Jahr[2000 .. 2005].value # returns an array
=> [2003, 2000, 2004, 2001, 2005, 2002]
Jahr[2000 .. 2005].monat(5..7).value # returns the result of the month-attribute (or method)
=> [[5, 6, 7], [5, 6, 7], [5, 6, 7], [5, 6, 7], [5, 6, 7], [5, 6, 7]]
Jahr[2000].monat(4, 7).tag(4, 15,24 ).datum # adresses methods or attributes of the specified day's
=> [["4.4.2000", "15.4.2000", "24.4.2000"], ["4.7.2000", "15.7.2000", "24.7.2000"]]
``
To filter datasets in that way, anything represented is queried from the database. In contrast to
a pure ruby implementation, this works for small and large grid's.
Obviously, you can do neat ruby-array playings, which are limited to the usual sizes.
For example. As »TAG[31]« returns an array, the elements can be treated with ruby flavour:
```ruby
Tag[31][2..4].datum # display three months with 31 days
=> ["31.10.1901", "31.1.1902", "31.5.1902"]First all Tag-Objects with the Value 31 are queried. This gives »Jan, Mar, May ..«. Then one can inspect the array, in this case by slicing a range.
Not surprisingly, the first occurence of the day is not the earliest date in the grid. Its just the first one, fetched from the database.
Tag[1][1].datum
=> "1.5.1900" # Tag[1][0] correctly fetches "1.1.1900"
Tag[1].last.datum
=> "1.11.2050"
## however,
Jahr[2050].monat(12).tag(1) # exists:
=> ["1.12.2050"]
TG::Jahr[2000..2002].monat(4,12).tag(1..4).datum.flatten
=> [Sat, 01 Apr 2000, Sun, 02 Apr 2000, Mon, 03 Apr 2000, Tue, 04 Apr 2000, Fri, 01 Dec 2000, Sat, 02 Dec 2000, Sun, 03 Dec 2000, Mon, 04 Dec 2000,
Sun, 01 Apr 2001, Mon, 02 Apr 2001, Tue, 03 Apr 2001, Wed, 04 Apr 2001, Sat, 01 Dec 2001, Sun, 02 Dec 2001, Mon, 03 Dec 2001, Tue, 04 Dec 2001,
Mon, 01 Apr 2002, Tue, 02 Apr 2002, Wed, 03 Apr 2002, Thu, 04 Apr 2002, Sun, 01 Dec 2002, Mon, 02 Dec 2002, Tue, 03 Dec 2002, Wed, 04 Dec 2002] Horizontal Connections
Besides the hierarchically TimeGraph »Jahr <-->Monat <--> Tag <--> Stunde« the Vertices are connected horizontally via »grid_to«-Edges. This enables an easy access to the neighbours.
On the TG::TimeBase-Level a method »environment« is implemented, that gathers the adjacent vertices via traverse.
start = "7.4.2000".to_tg
start.environment(3).datum
=> ["4.4.2000", "5.4.2000", "6.4.2000", "7.4.2000", "8.4.2000", "9.4.2000", "10.4.2000"]
2.3.1 :003 > start.environment(3,4).datum
=> ["4.4.2000", "5.4.2000", "6.4.2000", "7.4.2000", "8.4.2000", "9.4.2000", "10.4.2000", "11.4.2000"]
start.environment(0,3).datum
=> ["7.4.2000", "8.4.2000", "9.4.2000", "10.4.2000"]
Assigning Events
To assign something to the TimeGrid its sufficiant to create an edge-class and connect this »something», which is represented as Vertex, to the grid. The Diary example below describes how to do it.
However, if a csv-file with a »date« column is present, it's easier to assign it directly to the grid:
# csv record
Ticker,Date/Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Open Interest,
^GSPTSE,09.09.2016,14717.23,14717.23,14502.90,14540.00,202109040,0assuming the record is read as string, then assigning is straightforward:
ticker, date, open, high, low, close, volume, oi = record.split(',')
date.to_tg.assign vertex: Ticker.new( high: high, ..), via: OHLC_TO, attributes:{ symbol: ticker }The updated TimeBase-Object is returned.
»OHLC_TO« is the edge-class and »Ticker« represents a vertex-class
Diary
lets create a simple diary
include TG
TimeGraph.populate 2016
V.create_class :termin
=> Termin
E.create_class :date_of
=> DATE_OF
DATE_OF.uniq_index # put contrains to the edge-class, accept only one entry per item
Monat[8].tag(9).stunde(12).assign vertex: Termin.create( short: 'Mittagessen',
long: 'Schweinshaxen essen mit Lieschen Müller',
location: 'Hofbauhaus, München' ),
via: DATE_OF
=> #<DATE_OF:0x0000000334e038 (..) @attributes={"out"=>"#21:57", "in"=>"#41:0", (..)}>
# create some regular events using Edge.create
# attach breakfirst at 9 o clock from the 10th to the 21st Day in the current month
DATE_OF.create from: Monat[8].tag( 10 .. 21 ).stunde( 9 ), to: Termin.create( :short => 'Frühstück' )
=> #<DATE_OF:0x000000028d5688 @metadata={(..) "cluster"=>45, "record"=>8},
@attributes={"out"=>"#22:188", "in"=>"#42:0",(..)}>
t = Termin.where short: 'Frühstück'
t.in_date_of.out.first.datum
=> ["10.8.2016 9:00", "11.8.2016 9:00", "12.8.2016 9:00", "13.8.2016 9:00", "14.8.2016 9:00", "15.8.2016 9:00", "16.8.2016 9:00", "17.8.2016 9:00", "18.8.2016 9:00", "19.8.2016 9:00", "20.8.2016 9:00", "21.8.2016 9:00"]
