- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public Calendar clearTime()

      Clears the time portion of this Calendar instance; useful utility where it makes sense to compare month/day/year only portions of a Calendar.

      Returns:
        the Calendar but with the time portion cleared
      Since:
        1.6.7

    - #### public Calendar copyWith(Map<Object, Integer> updates)

      Support creating a new Date having similar properties to an existing Date (which remains unaltered) but with some fields updated according to a Map of changes.

      Example usage:

           import static java.util.Calendar.YEAR
           def now = Calendar.instance
           def nextYear = now[YEAR] + 1
           def oneYearFromNow = now.copyWith(year: nextYear)
           println now.time
           println oneYearFromNow.time

      Parameters:
        `updates` - A Map of Calendar keys and values
      Returns:
        The newly created Calendar
      See Also:
        Calendar.set
        Calendar.set
        set(java.util.Calendar, java.util.Map)
      Since:
        2.2.0

    - #### public void downto(Calendar to, Closure closure)

      Iterates from the date represented by this calendar up to the date represented by the given calendar, inclusive, incrementing by one day each time.

      Parameters:
        `to` - another Calendar to go down to
        `closure` - the closure to call
      Since:
        2.2

    - #### public String format(String pattern)

      Shortcut for SimpleDateFormat to output a String representation of this calendar instance. This method respects the Calendar's assigned TimeZone, whereas calling `cal.time.format('HH:mm:ss')` would use the system timezone.

      Note that Calendar equivalents of `date.getDateString()` and variants do not exist because those methods are Locale-dependent. Although a Calendar may be assigned a Locale, that information is lost and therefore cannot be used to control the default date/time formats provided by these methods. Instead, the system Locale would always be used. The alternative is to simply call DateFormat.getDateInstance and pass the same Locale that was used for the Calendar.

      Parameters:
        `pattern` - format pattern
      Returns:
        String representation of this calendar with the given format.
      See Also:
        DateFormat.setTimeZone
        SimpleDateFormat.format
        format(java.util.Date, String)
      Since:
        1.6.0
