APPENDIX

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

from_string

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

          Different implementations may support different encodings. An
          example of a commonly used encoding is the Genbank feature table
          encoding of locations.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.
Args    : A string.
