\usage{
as_date(object, calendar)

\S4method{as_date}{numeric,GregorianCalendar}(object, calendar)

\S4method{as_date}{numeric,JulianCalendar}(object, calendar)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{A \code{\linkS4class{RataDie}} object (see \code{\link[=fixed]{fixed()}}).}

\item{calendar}{A \code{\linkS4class{TimeScale}} object specifying the target calendar
(see \code{\link[=calendar]{calendar()}}).}
}
\value{
A \code{\link{numeric}} vector of (decimal) years.
}
\description{
Date Conversion from \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)
}
