Library "FrizLabz_Time_Utility_Methods"

Some time to index and index to time helper methods made them for another library thought I would try to make
them as methods

UTC_helper(utc)
  UTC helper function this adds the + to the positive utc times, add "UTC" to the string
and can be used in the timezone arg of for format_time()
  Parameters:
    utc: (int) | +/- utc offset
  Returns: string | string to be added to the timezone paramater for utc timezone usage

bar_time(bar_amount)
  from a time to index
  Parameters:
    bar_amount: (int) | default - 1)
  Returns: int bar_time

time_to_index(_time)
  from time to bar_index
  Parameters:
    _time: (int)
  Returns: int time_to_index | bar_index that corresponds to time provided

time_to_bars_back(_time)
  from a time quanity to bar quanity for use with [historical ref].
  Parameters:
    _time: (int)
  Returns: int bars_back | yeilds the amount of bars from current bar to reach _time provided

bars_back_to_time(bars_back)
  from bars_back to time
  Parameters:
    bars_back
  Returns: int | using same logic as [historical ref.] this will return the
time of the bar = to the bar that corresponds to [x] bars_back

index_time(index)
  bar_index to UNIX time
  Parameters:
    index: (int)
  Returns: int time | time in unix that corrresponds to the bar_index

to_utc(time_or_index, timezone, format)
  method to use with a time or bar_index variable that will detect if it is an index or unix time
and convert it to a printable string
  Parameters:
    time_or_index: (int) required) | time in unix or bar_index
    timezone: (int) required) | utc offset to be appled to output
    format: (string) | default - "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ") | the format for the time, provided string is
default one from str.format_time()
  Returns: string | time formatted string

GET(line)
  Gets the location paramaters of a Line
  Parameters:
    line: (line)
  Returns: tuple [int x1,float y1,int x2,float y2]

GET(box)
  Gets the location paramaters of a Box
  Parameters:

    timezone: (int) | default - na
  Returns: tuple [string x1,string y1,string x2,string y2]

Line(x1, y1, x2, y2, extend, color, style, width)
  similar to line.new() with the exception
of not needing to include y2 for a flat line, y1 defaults to close,
and it doesnt require xloc.bar_time or xloc.bar_index, if no x1
  Parameters:
    x1: (int) default - time

auto detects if it is bar_index or time used in the (left) arg. xloc.bar_time and xloc.bar_index are not used
args are ordered by purpose | position -> colors -> styling -> text options

args are ordered by purpose | position -> colors -> styling -> text options
  Parameters:
    x: (int) default - time
    y: (float) default - high or low | depending on bar direction
    txt: (string) default - ''
    yloc: (string) default - yloc.price | yloc.price, yloc.abovebar, yloc.belowbar
    color: (color) default - chart.fg_color
    textcolor: (color) default - chart.bg_color
    style: (string) default - label.style_label_down | label.style_none
label.style_xcross,label.style_cross,label.style_triangleup,label.style_triangledown
label.style_flag, label.style_circle, label.style_arrowup, label.style_arrowdown,
label.style_label_up, label.style_label_down, label.style_label_left, label.style_label_right,

v5
Changed: index_time() to index_to_time() so that index_to_time() and time_to_index() closer match in names

Removed: GET(), Format(), Line(), Label(), Box()
I'll be releasing a library that has functions that mirror these
