The DateStr method returns a string for the date-stamp at the beginning of the exposure.

Syntax

sDate = CImage:DateStr()

Example

Suppose that an image in the file sPath was acquired on 24 March 1996 GMT. The following script fragment returns the date on which the image was acquired:

I = CImage:new()	-- create a new CImage
I:Open( sPath )	-- open the image
Printf( "d = %lg", I:Date())	-- Result: d = 9579 days
Printf( "D = '%s'", I:DateStr())	-- Result: D ='1996-03-24'
