NAME

Bio::Coordinate::Result - Results from coordinate transformation

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Coordinate::Result;

#get results from a Bio::Coordinate::MapperI
$matched = $result->each_match;

DESCRIPTION

The results from Bio::Coordinate::MapperI are kept in an object which itself is a split location, See Bio::Location::Split. The results are either Matches or Gaps. See Bio::Coordinate::Result::Match and Bio::Coordinate::Result::Match.

If only one Match is returned, there is a convenience method of retrieving it or accessing its methods. Same holds true for a Gap.

APPENDIX

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

add_location

Title   : add_sub_Location
Usage   : $obj->add_sub_Location($variant)
Function: 

          Pushes one Bio::LocationI into the list of variants.

Example : 
Returns : 1 when succeeds
Args    : Location object

add_result

Title   : add_result
Usage   : $obj->add_result($result)
Function: Adds the contents of one Bio::Coordinate::Result
Example : 
Returns : 1 when succeeds
Args    : Result object

seq_id

Title   : seq_id
Usage   : my $seqid = $location->seq_id();
Function: Get/Set seq_id that location refers to

          We override this here in order to propagate to all sublocations
          which are not remote (provided this root is not remote either)

Returns : seq_id
Args    : [optional] seq_id value to set

Convenience methods

These methods are shortcuts to Match and Gap locations.

each_gap

Title   : each_gap
Usage   : $obj->each_gap();
Function: 

           Returns a list of Bio::Coordianate::Result::Gap objects.

Returns : list of gaps
Args    : none

each_match

Title   : each_match
Usage   : $obj->each_match();
Function: 

           Returns a list of Bio::Coordinate::Result::Match objects.

Returns : list of Matchs
Args    : none

match

Title   : match
Usage   : $match_object = $obj->match(); #or
          $gstart = $obj->gap->start;
Function: Read only method for retrieving or accessing the match object.
Returns : one Bio::Coordinate::Result::Match
Args    :

gap

Title   : gap
Usage   : $gap_object = $obj->gap(); #or
          $gstart = $obj->gap->start;
Function: Read only method for retrieving or accessing the gap object.
Returns : one Bio::Coordinate::Result::Gap
Args    :

purge_gaps

Title   : purge_gaps
Usage   : $gap_count = $obj->purge_gaps;
Function: remove all gaps from the Result
Returns : count of removed gaps
Args    :
