NAME

FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory - A FeatureTable Location Parser

SYNOPSIS

# parse a string into a location object
$loc = FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->from_string("join(100..200, 
                                                     400..500");

DESCRIPTION

Implementation of string-encoded location parsing for the Genbank feature table encoding of locations.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->new();
Function: Builds a new FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory object 
Returns : an instance of FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory
Args    :

from_string

Title   : from_string
Usage   : $loc = $locfactory->from_string("100..200");
Function: Parses the given string and returns a FAST::Bio::LocationI implementing
          object representing the location encoded by the string.

          This implementation parses the Genbank feature table
          encoding of locations.
Example :
Returns : A FAST::Bio::LocationI implementing object.
Args    : A string.

_parse_location

Title   : _parse_location
Usage   : $loc = $locfactory->_parse_location( $loc_string)

Function: Parses the given location string and returns a location object 
          with start() and end() and strand() set appropriately.
          Note that this method is private.
Returns : A FAST::Bio::LocationI implementing object or undef on failure
Args    : location string
