The PLplot definition of broken-down time is a calendar time
that completely ignores all time zone offsets, i.e., it is the
user's responsibility to apply those offsets (if so desired)
before using the PLplot time API. By default broken-down time
is defined using the proleptic Gregorian calendar without the
insertion of leap seconds and continuous time is defined as the
number of seconds since the Unix epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
However, other definitions of broken-down and continuous time
are possible, see plconfigtime.
