NAME
Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory - A FeatureTable Location Parser

SYNOPSIS
    # parse a string into a location object

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

  new
 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory object
 Returns : an instance of Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory
 Args    :

  from_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.

  _parse_location
 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
