Synopsis

Description
This implementation handles locations which span more than one
start/end location, or and/or lie on different sequences.

Methods description
add_sub_Locationcode    nextTop
 Title   : add_sub_Location
Usage : $splitloc->add_sub_Location(@locationIobjs);
Function: add an additional sublocation
Returns : number of current sub locations
Args : list of Bio::LocationI implementing object(s) to add
each_LocationcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : each_Location
Usage : @locations = $locObject->each_Location($order);
Function: Conserved function call across Location:: modules - will
return an array containing the component Location(s) in
that object, regardless if the calling object is itself a
single location or one containing sublocations.
Returns : an array of Bio::LocationI implementing objects
Args : Optional sort order to be passed to sub_Location()
endcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : end
Usage : $end = $location->end();
Function: get the ending point of the last (sorted) sublocation
Returns : integer
Args : none
end_pos_typecodeprevnextTop
  Title   : end_pos_type
Usage : my $end_pos_type = $location->end_pos_type();
Function: Get end position type (ie <,>, ^)
Returns : type of position coded as text
('BEFORE', 'AFTER', 'EXACT','WITHIN', 'BETWEEN')
Args : none
is_single_sequencecodeprevnextTop
  Title   : is_single_sequence
Usage : if($splitloc->is_single_sequence()) {
print "Location object $splitloc is split ".
"but only across a single sequence\n";
}
Function: Determine whether this location is split across a single or
multiple sequences.
This implementation ignores (sub-)locations that do not define seq_id(). The same holds true for the root location. Returns : TRUE if all sublocations lie on the same sequence as the root location (feature), and FALSE otherwise. Args : none
max_endcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : max_end
Usage : my $maxend = $location->max_end();
Function: Get maximum ending location of feature endpoint
Returns : integer or undef if no maximum ending point.
Args : none
max_startcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : max_start
Usage : my $maxstart = $location->max_start();
Function: Get maximum starting location of feature startpoint
Returns : integer or undef if no maximum starting point.
Args : none
min_endcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : min_end
Usage : my $minend = $location->min_end();
Function: Get minimum ending location of feature endpoint
Returns : integer or undef if no minimum ending point.
Args : none
min_startcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : min_start
Usage : $min_start = $location->min_start();
Function: get the minimum starting point
Returns : the minimum starting point from the contained sublocations
Args : none
seq_idcodeprevnextTop
  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
splittypecodeprevnextTop
  Title   : splittype
Usage : $splittype = $fuzzy->splittype();
Function: get/set the split splittype
Returns : the splittype of split feature (join, order)
Args : splittype to set
startcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : start
Usage : $start = $location->start();
Function: get the starting point of the first (sorted) sublocation
Returns : integer
Args : none
start_pos_typecodeprevnextTop
  Title   : start_pos_type
Usage : my $start_pos_type = $location->start_pos_type();
Function: Get start position type (ie <,>, ^)
Returns : type of position coded as text
('BEFORE', 'AFTER', 'EXACT','WITHIN', 'BETWEEN')
Args : none
strandcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : strand
Usage : $obj->strand($newval)
Function: For SplitLocations, setting the strand of the container
(this object) is a short-cut for setting the strand of all
sublocations.
In get-mode, checks if no sub-location is remote, and if all have the same strand. If so, it returns that shared strand value. Otherwise it returns undef. Example : Returns : on get, value of strand if identical between sublocations (-1, 1, or undef) Args : new value (-1 or 1, optional)
sub_LocationcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : sub_Location
Usage : @sublocs = $splitloc->sub_Location();
Function: Returns the array of sublocations making up this compound (split)
location. Those sublocations referring to the same sequence as
the root split location will be sorted by start position (forward
sort) or end position (reverse sort) and come first (before
those on other sequences).
The sort order can be optionally specified or suppressed by the value of the first argument. The default is no sort. Returns : an array of Bio::LocationI implementing objects Args : Optionally 1, 0, or -1 for specifying a forward, no, or reverse sort order
to_FTstringcodeprevnextTop
  Title   : to_FTstring
Usage : my $locstr = $location->to_FTstring()
Function: returns the FeatureTable string of this location
Returns : string
Args : none

coordinate_policyTop
  Title   : coordinate_policy
Usage : $policy = $location->coordinate_policy();
$location->coordinate_policy($mypolicy); # set may not be possible
Function: Get the coordinate computing policy employed by this object.
See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI for documentation about the policy object and its use. The interface *does not* require implementing classes to accept setting of a different policy. The implementation provided here does, however, allow to do so. Implementors of this interface are expected to initialize every new instance with a CoordinatePolicyI object. The implementation provided here will return a default policy object if none has been set yet. To change this default policy object call this method as a class method with an appropriate argument. Note that in this case only subsequently created Location objects will be affected. Returns : A Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI implementing object. Args : On set, a Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI implementing object.
