Constructor for new NDFDgenByDay objects. If called with no parameters, it will return a new object initialized with the 'Day' format, the current date as the start date, and the default number of days equal to one. All other parameters are left unintialized. Values can be provided for 'Latitude', 'Longitude', 'Format', 'Start Time', and 'Number of Days'.

Sets the latitude for the object. This is a decimal value.

Returns the latitude stored in the object.

Sets the longitude for the object. This is a decimal value.

Returns the longitude stored in the object.

Sets the format for the object. This is either 'Day' or 'Half-Day'.

Returns the format stored in the object.

Sets the start date for the object.

Gets the start date stored in the object.

Sets the number of days for the object. This is an integer value between 1 and 7.

Returns the number_of_days stored in the object.

Return a list of all formats available through this service.

Return the NWS NDFD XML as described in http://products.weather.gov/PDD/Extensible_Markup_Language.pdf. The data returned depends on the state of the NDFDgenByDay object at the date of the call to this method. Any parameters can be overridden by being passed in as arguments to this method.
