NAME

Bio::Search::Result::ResultFactory - A factory to create Bio::Search::Result::ResultI objects

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Search::Result::ResultFactory;
my $factory = new Bio::Search::Result::ResultFactory();
my $resultobj = $factory->create(@args);

DESCRIPTION

This is a general way of hiding the object creation process so that we can dynamically change the objects that are created by the SearchIO parser depending on what format report we are parsing.

This object is for creating new Results.
