\title{\emph{Rata Die} Conversion to and from Julian Years}
\usage{
fixed_from_julian(year, month, day)

fixed_to_julian(object)
}
\arguments{
\item{year}{A \code{\link{numeric}} vector of years. If \code{month} and \code{day} are missing,
decimal years are expected.}

\item{month}{A \code{\link{numeric}} vector of months.}

\item{day}{A \code{\link{numeric}} vector of days.}

\item{object}{A \code{\linkS4class{RataDie}} object (see \code{\link[=fixed]{fixed()}}).}
}
\value{
\itemize{
\item \code{fixed_from_julian()} returns a \code{\linkS4class{RataDie}} object.
\item \code{fixed_to_julian()} returns a \code{\link{numeric}} vector of Julian years.
}

\description{
Convenient functions for conversion from and to \emph{rata die}.
}
\examples{
## R 1.0.0
(y <- fixed(year = 2000, month = 02, day = 29, calendar = CE()))
as_date(y, calendar = CE())
as_year(y, calendar = CE())

## Create a vector of years BP (Gregorian)
## (every two years starting from 2000 BP)
(years <- seq(from = 2000, by = -2, length.out = 10))
## Convert years to rata die
(rd <- fixed(years, calendar = BP()))
## Convert back to Gregorian years BP
as_year(rd, calendar = BP())

## More convenient
(rd <- fixed_from_BP(years))
fixed_to_BP(rd)
}
