+ * A class to calculate and manage a variety of time parameters.
+ * The SGTime class provides many real-world time values. It
+ * calculates current time in seconds, GMT time, local time zone,
+ * local offset in seconds from GMT, Julian date, and sidereal
+ * time. All of these operate with seconds as their granularity so
+ * this class is not intended for timing sub-second events. These
+ * values are intended as input to things like real world lighting
+ * calculations and real astronomical object placement.

- SG_TIME_LAT_OFFSET = 2,
- SG_TIME_SYS_ABSOLUTE = 3,
- SG_TIME_GMT_ABSOLUTE = 4,
- SG_TIME_LAT_ABSOLUTE = 5
-};
+ * To properly use the SGTime class there are a couple of things to be
+ * aware of. After creating an instance of the class, you will need to
+ * periodically (i.e. before every frame) call the update()
+ * method. Optionally, if you care about updating time zone
+ * information based on your latitude and longitude, you can call the
+ * updateLocal() method periodically as your position changes by
+ * significant amounts.
