Bio::SeqFeatureI - Abstract interface of a Sequence Feature

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # get a seqfeature somehow, eg, from a Sequence with Features attached

    foreach $feat ( $seq->get_SeqFeatures() ) {

	          $feat->end, " Primary tag  ", $feat->primary_tag,

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This interface is the functions one can expect for any Sequence
Feature, whatever its implementation or whether it is a more complex
type (eg, a Gene). This object does not actually provide any
implemention, it just provides the definitions of what methods one can
call. See Bio::SeqFeature::Generic for a good standard implementation
of this object

=head1 FEEDBACK

New method interfaces.

=cut

=head2 get_SeqFeatures

 Title   : get_SeqFeatures
 Usage   : @feats = $feat->get_SeqFeatures();
 Function: Returns an array of sub Sequence Features
 Returns : An array
 Args    : none

=cut

sub get_SeqFeatures{
   my ($self,@args) = @_;

   $self->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 display_name

 Title   : display_name
 Usage   : $name = $feat->display_name()
 Function: Returns the human-readable name of the feature for displays.
 Returns : a string
 Args    : none

=cut

sub display_name { 
    shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 primary_tag

 Title   : primary_tag
 Usage   : $tag = $feat->primary_tag()
 Function: Returns the primary tag for a feature,
           eg 'exon'
 Returns : a string 
 Args    : none


=cut

sub primary_tag{
   my ($self,@args) = @_;

   $self->throw_not_implemented();

}

=head2 source_tag

 Title   : source_tag
 Usage   : $tag = $feat->source_tag()
 Function: Returns the source tag for a feature,
           eg, 'genscan' 
 Returns : a string 
 Args    : none


=cut

sub source_tag{
   my ($self,@args) = @_;

   $self->throw_not_implemented();
}


=head2 attach_seq

 Title   : attach_seq
 Usage   : $sf->attach_seq($seq)
 Function: Attaches a Bio::Seq object to this feature. This
           Bio::Seq object is for the *entire* sequence: ie
           from 1 to 10000

           Note that it is not guaranteed that if you obtain a feature from
           an object in bioperl, it will have a sequence attached. Also,
           implementors of this interface can choose to provide an empty
           implementation of this method. I.e., there is also no guarantee 
           that if you do attach a sequence, seq() or entire_seq() will not
           return undef.

           The reason that this method is here on the interface is to enable
           you to call it on every SeqFeatureI compliant object, and
           that it will be implemented in a useful way and set to a useful 
           value for the great majority of use cases. Implementors who choose
           to ignore the call are encouraged to specifically state this in
           their documentation.

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success
 Args    : a Bio::PrimarySeqI compliant object


=cut

sub attach_seq {
    shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 seq

 Title   : seq
 Usage   : $tseq = $sf->seq()
 Function: returns the truncated sequence (if there is a sequence attached) 
           for this feature
 Example :
 Returns : sub seq (a Bio::PrimarySeqI compliant object) on attached sequence
           bounded by start & end, or undef if there is no sequence attached
 Args    : none


=cut

sub seq {
    shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 entire_seq

 Title   : entire_seq
 Usage   : $whole_seq = $sf->entire_seq()
 Function: gives the entire sequence that this seqfeature is attached to
 Example :
 Returns : a Bio::PrimarySeqI compliant object, or undef if there is no
           sequence attached
 Args    : none


=cut

sub entire_seq {
    shift->throw_not_implemented();
}


=head2 seq_id

 Title   : seq_id
 Usage   : $obj->seq_id($newval)
 Function: There are many cases when you make a feature that you
           do know the sequence name, but do not know its actual
           sequence. This is an attribute such that you can store
           the ID (e.g., display_id) of the sequence.

           This attribute should *not* be used in GFF dumping, as
           that should come from the collection in which the seq
           feature was found.
 Returns : value of seq_id
 Args    : newvalue (optional)


=cut

sub seq_id {
    shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 gff_string

 Title   : gff_string
 Usage   : $str = $feat->gff_string;
           $str = $feat->gff_string($gff_formatter);
 Function: Provides the feature information in GFF format.

           The implementation provided here returns GFF2 by default. If you
           want a different version, supply an object implementing a method
           gff_string() accepting a SeqFeatureI object as argument. E.g., to
           obtain GFF1 format, do the following:

                my $gffio = Bio::Tools::GFF->new(-gff_version => 1);
                $gff1str = $feat->gff_string($gff1io);

 Returns : A string
 Args    : Optionally, an object implementing gff_string().


=cut

sub gff_string{
   my ($self,$formatter) = @_;

   $formatter = $self->_static_gff_formatter unless $formatter;
   return $formatter->gff_string($self);
}

my $static_gff_formatter = undef;

=head2 _static_gff_formatter

 Title   : _static_gff_formatter
 Usage   :
 Function:
 Example :
 Returns : 
 Args    :


=cut

sub _static_gff_formatter{
   my ($self,@args) = @_;

   if( !defined $static_gff_formatter ) {
       $static_gff_formatter = Bio::Tools::GFF->new('-gff_version' => 2);
   }
   return $static_gff_formatter;
}


=head1 Decorating methods

These methods have an implementation provided by Bio::SeqFeatureI,
but can be validly overwritten by subclasses

=head2 spliced_seq

  Title   : spliced_seq

  Usage   : $seq = $feature->spliced_seq()
            $seq = $feature_with_remote_locations->spliced_seq($db_for_seqs)

  Function: Provides a sequence of the feature which is the most
            semantically "relevant" feature for this sequence. A default
            implementation is provided which for simple cases returns just
            the sequence, but for split cases, loops over the split location
            to return the sequence. In the case of split locations with
            remote locations, eg

            join(AB000123:5567-5589,80..1144)

            in the case when a database object is passed in, it will attempt
            to retrieve the sequence from the database object, and "Do the right thing",
            however if no database object is provided, it will generate the correct
            number of N's (DNA) or X's (protein, though this is unlikely).

            This function is deliberately "magical" attempting to second guess
            what a user wants as "the" sequence for this feature.

            Implementing classes are free to override this method with their
            own magic if they have a better idea what the user wants.

  Args    : [optional] A L<Bio::DB::RandomAccessI> compliant object if 
                       one needs to retrieve remote seqs. 
            [optional] boolean if the locations should not be sorted 
                       by start location.
  Returns : A L<Bio::PrimarySeqI> object

=head1 Bio::RangeI methods

These methods are inherited from RangeI and can be used
directly from a SeqFeatureI interface. Remember that a 
SeqFeature is-a RangeI, and so wherever you see RangeI you
can use a feature ($r in the below documentation).
