Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactoryI - interface describing objects capable of creating SeqAnalysisParserI compliant parsers # initialize an object implementing this interface, e.g. $factory = Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactory->new(); # obtain a parser object $parser = $factory->get_parser(-input=>$inputobj, -params=>[@params], -method => $method); # $parser is an object implementing Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI # annotate sequence with features produced by parser while(my $feat = $parser->next_feature()) { $seq->add_SeqFeature($feat); } This is an interface for factory classes capable of instantiating SeqAnalysisParserI implementing parsers. The concept behind the interface is a generic analysis result parsing in high-throughput automated sequence annotation pipelines. See Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI for more documentation of this concept.

Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bio.perl.org http://bio.perl.org/bioperl-bugs/ Email Hilmar Lapp <hlapp@gmx.net>, Jason Stajich <jason@chg.mc.duke.edu> The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.

get_parser
Title : get_parser Usage : $factory->get_parser(-input=>$inputobj, [ -params=>[@params] ], -method => $method) Function: Creates and returns a parser object for the given input and method. The type of input which is suitable depends on the implementation, but a good-style implementation should allow both file names and streams (filehandles). A particular implementation may not be able to create a parser for the requested method. In this case it shall return undef. Parameters (-params argument) are passed on to the parser object and therefore are specific to the parser to be created. An implementation of this interface should make this argument optional. Example : Returns : A Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI implementing object. Args : B<input> - object/file where analysis results are coming from, B<params> - parameter to use when parsing/running analysis B<method> - method of analysis of creating SeqAnalysisParserI compliant parsers"
