Bio::Tools::Analysis::SimpleAnalysisBase(3)

NAME
Bio::Tools::Analysis::SimpleAnalysisBase - abstact superclass for SimpleAnalysis implementations

SYNOPSIS
  # no to be run directly

DESCRIPTION
This class is a generic implementation of SimpleAnalysisI and should be used as a base class for specific implementations.

SimpleAnalysis implementing modules just need to provide a specific _run() result() and _init() methods, plus any get/set methods for parameter to the analysis program.

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

  new
 Usage   : $job->new(...)
 Returns : a new analysis object,
 Args    : none (but an implementation may choose
           to add arguments representing parameters for the analysis
           program. Each key value of must have a method implemented
           for it in a subclass. A seq () method is provided here as
           this will probably be needed by all sequence analysis programs

  seq
 Usage   : $job->seq()
 Returns : a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing sequence object, or void
 Args    : None, or a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object

  analysis_name
    Useage   :  $analysis->analysis_name();
    Returns  :  The analysis name
    Arguments:  none

  analysis_spec
    Useage   :  $analysis->analysis_spec();
    Returns  :  a hash reference to  a hash of analysis parameters. See
                Bio::SimpleAnalysisI for a list of recommended key values.
    Arguments:  none

  clear
    Usage     :$analysis->clear();
    Returns   :true value on success
    Arguments :none
    Purpose   :to remove raw results from a previous analysis so that
               an analysis can be repeated with different parameters.

  input_spec
    Useage   :  $analysis->input_spec();
    Returns  :  a  reference to  an array of  hashes of analysis parameters. See
                Bio::SimpleAnalysisI for a list of recommended key values.
    Arguments:  none

  result_spec
    Useage   :  $analysis->result_spec();
    Returns  :  a  reference to  a   hashes of resultformats. See
                Bio::SimpleAnalysisI for a list of recommended key values. The key
                values can be used as parameters to the result() method, the values
                provide descriptions.
    Arguments:  none
