Bio::Location::WidestCoordPolicy(3)

NAME
Bio::Location::WidestCoordPolicy - class implementing Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicy as the widest possible and reasonable range

SYNOPSIS
See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI

DESCRIPTION
CoordinatePolicyI implementing objects are used by Bio::LocationI implementing objects to determine integer-valued coordinates when asked for it.

This class will compute the coordinates such that always the widest possible range is returned, but by using some common sense. This means that e.g. locations like "<5..100" (start before position 5) will return 5 as start (returned values have to be positive integers).

FEEDBACK
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

  Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

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

  start
  Title   : start
  Usage   : $start = $policy->start($location);
  Function: Get the integer-valued start coordinate of the given location as
            computed by this computation policy.
  Returns : A positive integer number.
  Args    : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.

  end
  Title   : end
  Usage   : $end = $policy->end($location);
  Function: Get the integer-valued end coordinate of the given location as
            computed by this computation policy.
  Returns : A positive integer number.
  Args    : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.
