Instead of writing $segment->[0], $segment->[1] or $segment->[2] its possible to use the more descriptive notation of $segment->from_start(), $segement->from_end(), $segment->to_Slice(). =head1 METHODS =cut package Bio::EnsEMBL::ProjectionSegment; # # WARNING: THIS CLASS IS REPRESENTED BY A BLESSED ARRAY REFERENCE # NOT A HASH REFERENCE # =head2 from_start Args : none Example : $coord_in_fetaure_start = $segment->from_start() Description: First element in projects returned segment lists Returntype : int Exceptions : none Caller : general Status : Stable =cut sub from_start { my $self = shift; return $self->[0]; } =head2 from_end Args : none Example : $coord_in_feature_end = $segment->from_end() Description: Second element in projects returned segment lists Returntype : int Exceptions : none Caller : general Status : Stable =cut sub from_end { my $self = shift; return $self->[1]; } =head2 to_Slice Args : none Example : $target_slice = $segment->to_Slice() Description: Third element in projects returned segment lists Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::Slice Exceptions : none Caller : general Status : Stable =cut sub to_Slice { my $self = shift; return $self->[2]; } 1;
