Triangular TimeSeries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is some triangular function of the time in the domain.

	Triangle Time Series

.. function:: timeSeries Triangle $tag $tStart $tEnd $period <-shift $shift> <-factor $cFactor>

.. csv-table:: 
   :header: "Argument", "Type", "Description"
   :widths: 10, 10, 40

   	    $tag, |integer|, unique tag among TimeSeries objects
	    $tStart, |float|, starting time of non-zero load factor
	    $tEnd, |float|,	ending time of non-zero load factor
	    $period, |float|, characteristic period of triangular wave
	    $shift, |float|,   phase shift in seconds (optional: default = 0.0)
	    $cFactor, |float|, the load amplification factor (optional: default = 1.0)

.. admonition:: Example:

   The following code demonstrates how user would create a trigonemtric time series with a tag of **1**, has a start time of **0.0**, an end time of **10.0**, a period of **1.0**, and a max load factor of **2.0**.

   1. **Tcl Code**

   .. code-block:: none

      timeSeries Triangle 1 0.0 10.0 1.0 -factor 2.0


   2. **Python Code**

   .. code-block:: python

      timSeries('Triangle',  1, 0.0, 10.0, 1.0, '-factor', 2.0)
