Bio::Location::Simple - Implementation of a Simple Location on a Sequence

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

   start
         Title   : start
         Usage   : $start = $loc->start();
         Function: get/set the start of this range
         Returns : the start of this range
         Args    : optionally allows the start to be set
                   using $loc->start($start)

   end
         Title   : end
         Usage   : $end = $loc->end();
         Function: get/set the end of this range
         Returns : the end of this range
         Args    : optionally allows the end to be set
                 : using $loc->end($start)
         Note    : If start is set but end is undefined, this now assumes that start
                   is the same as end but throws a warning (i.e. it assumes this is
                   a possible error). If start is undefined, this now throws an
                   exception.

   strand
         Title   : strand
         Usage   : $strand = $loc->strand();
         Function: get/set the strand of this range
         Returns : the strandedness (-1, 0, +1)
         Args    : optionally allows the strand to be set
                 : using $loc->strand($strand)

   length
        Title   : length
        Usage   : $len = $loc->length();
        Function: get the length in the coordinate space this location spans
        Example :
        Returns : an integer
        Args    : none

   min_start
         Title   : min_start
         Usage   : my $minstart = $location->min_start();
         Function: Get minimum starting location of feature startpoint
         Returns : integer or undef if no minimum starting point.
         Args    : none

   max_start
         Title   : max_start
         Usage   : my $maxstart = $location->max_start();
         Function: Get maximum starting location of feature startpoint.

                   In this implementation this is exactly the same as min_start().

         Returns : integer or undef if no maximum starting point.
         Args    : none

   start_pos_type
         Title   : start_pos_type
         Usage   : my $start_pos_type = $location->start_pos_type();
         Function: Get start position type (ie <,>, ^).

         Returns : type of position coded as text
                   ('BEFORE', 'AFTER', 'EXACT','WITHIN', 'BETWEEN')
         Args    : none

   min_end
         Title   : min_end
         Usage   : my $minend = $location->min_end();
         Function: Get minimum ending location of feature endpoint
         Returns : integer or undef if no minimum ending point.
         Args    : none

   max_end
         Title   : max_end
         Usage   : my $maxend = $location->max_end();
         Function: Get maximum ending location of feature endpoint

                   In this implementation this is exactly the same as min_end().

         Returns : integer or undef if no maximum ending point.
         Args    : none

   end_pos_type
         Title   : end_pos_type
         Usage   : my $end_pos_type = $location->end_pos_type();
         Function: Get end position type (ie <,>, ^)

         Returns : type of position coded as text
                   ('BEFORE', 'AFTER', 'EXACT','WITHIN', 'BETWEEN')
         Args    : none

   location_type
         Title   : location_type
         Usage   : my $location_type = $location->location_type();
         Function: Get location type encoded as text
         Returns : string ('EXACT' or 'IN-BETWEEN')
         Args    : 'EXACT' or '..' or 'IN-BETWEEN' or '^'

   is_remote
        Title   : is_remote
        Usage   : $is_remote_loc = $loc->is_remote()
        Function: Whether or not a location is a remote location.

                  A location is said to be remote if it is on a different
                  'object' than the object which 'has' this
                  location. Typically, features on a sequence will sometimes
                  have a remote location, which means that the location of
                  the feature is on a different sequence than the one that is
                  attached to the feature. In such a case, $loc->seq_id will
                  be different from $feat->seq_id (usually they will be the
                  same).

                  While this may sound weird, it reflects the location of the
                  kind of AL445212.9:83662..166657 which can be found in GenBank/EMBL
                  feature tables.

        Example :
        Returns : TRUE if the location is a remote location, and FALSE otherwise
        Args    : Value to set to

   to_FTstring
         Title   : to_FTstring
         Usage   : my $locstr = $location->to_FTstring()
         Function: returns the FeatureTable string of this location
         Returns : string
         Args    : none

   valid_Location
        Title   : valid_Location
        Usage   : if ($location->valid_location) {...};
        Function: boolean method to determine whether location is considered valid
                  (has minimum requirements for Simple implementation)
        Returns : Boolean value: true if location is valid, false otherwise
        Args    : none

       This is an implementation of Bio::LocationI to manage exact location information on a Sequence: '22' or
       '12..15' or '16^17'.

       You can test the type of the location using length() function () or directly location_type() which can
       one of two values: 'EXACT' or 'IN-BETWEEN'.

       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.

   ReportingBugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution.  Bug
       reports can be submitted via the web:
