Synopsis
    # parse a string into a location object
$loc = 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.

Methods description

 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 Bio::LocationI implementing object or undef on failure Args : location 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.
This implementation parses the Genbank feature table encoding of locations. Example : Returns : A Bio::LocationI implementing object. Args : A string.
