Bio::Map::MappableI - An object that can be placed in a map
# do not use this module directly
# See Bio::Map::Mappable for an example of
# implementation.
This object handles the generic notion of an element placed on a (linear) Map. A Mappable can have multiple positions in multiple maps, such as is the case of Restriction enzyme cut sites on sequence maps. For exact information about a mappable's position in a map one must query the associate PositionI objects which are accessible through the get_positions() method.
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

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

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.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
These are fundamental to coordination of Mappables and other entities, so are implemented at the interface level
Title : get_position_handler Usage : my $position_handler = $entity->get_position_handler(); Function: Gets a PositionHandlerI that $entity is registered with. Returns : Bio::Map::PositionHandlerI object Args : none

Title : add_position Usage : $mappable->add_position($position); Function: Add a position to this mappable (defining where on which map it is). Returns : n/a Args : L<Bio::Map::PositionI> object
Title : get_positions
Usage : my @positions = $mappable->get_positions();
Function: Get all the Positions of this Mappable (sorted).
Returns : Array of L<Bio::Map::PositionI> objects
Args : none for all, OR
L<Bio::Map::MapI> object for positions on the given map, AND/OR some
other true value to avoid sorting
Title : each_position Function: Synonym of the get_positions() method. Status : deprecated, will be removed in next version
Title : purge_positions
Usage : $mappable->purge_positions();
Function: Remove positions from this mappable.
Returns : n/a
Args : none to remove all positions, OR
L<Bio::Map::PositionI> object to remove just that Position, OR
L<Bio::Map::MapI> object to remove only those positions on the given
map
Title : known_maps Usage : my @maps = $marker->known_maps() Function: Returns the maps that this mappable is found on Returns : Array of L<Bio::Map::MapI> objects Args : none
Title : name
Usage : my $name = $marker->name();
$marker->name($new_name);
Function: Get/Set the name for this Mappable.
Returns : A scalar representing the current name of this Mappable
Args : none to get
string to set
Title : id
Usage : my $id = $marker->id();
$marker->id($new_id);
Function: Get/Set the id for this Mappable.
Returns : A scalar representing the current id of this Mappable
Args : none to get
string to set
Title : in_map
Usage : if ($marker->in_map($map)) {...}
Function: Tests if this mappable is found on a specific map
Returns : boolean
Args : L<Bio::Map::MapI>
They throw an error if start and end are not defined in the Positions of the Mappables supplied.
Title : equals
Usage : if ($mappable->equals($other_mappable)) {...}
my @equal_positions = $mappable->equals($other_mappable);
Function: Finds the positions in this mappable that are equal to any
comparison positions.
Returns : array of L<Bio::Map::PositionI> objects
Args : arg #1 = L<Bio::Map::MappableI> OR L<Bio::Map::PositionI> to compare
this one to (mandatory)
arg #2 = optionally, the key => value pairs below
-map => Bio::Map::MapI : optionally a Map to only consider
positions on the given map
-relative => Bio::Map::RelativeI : optionally a Relative to ask if
the Positions equal in terms of
their relative position to the
thing described by that Relative
Title : overlaps
Usage : if ($mappable->overlaps($other_mappable)) {...}
my @overlapping_positions = $mappable->overlaps($other_mappable);
Function: Finds the positions in this mappable that overlap with any
comparison positions.
Returns : array of L<Bio::Map::PositionI> objects
Args : arg #1 = L<Bio::Map::MappableI> OR L<Bio::Map::PositionI> to compare
this one to (mandatory)
arg #2 = optionally, the key => value pairs below

positions on the given map
-relative => Bio::Map::RelativeI : optionally a Relative to ask if
the Positions overlap in terms of
their relative position to the
thing described by that Relative
Title : contains
Usage : if ($mappable->contains($other_mappable)) {...}
my @container_positions = $mappable->contains($other_mappable);
Function: Finds the positions in this mappable that contain any comparison
positions.
Returns : array of L<Bio::Map::PositionI> objects
Args : arg #1 = L<Bio::Map::MappableI> OR L<Bio::Map::PositionI> to compare
this one to (mandatory)
arg #2 = optionally, the key => value pairs below
-map => Bio::Map::MapI : optionally a Map to only consider
positions on the given map
-relative => Bio::Map::RelativeI : optionally a Relative to ask if
the Positions contains in terms of
their relative position to the
thing described by that Relative
Title : intersection
Usage : my $position = $mappable->intersection($other_mappable);
my $position = Bio::Map::Mappable->intersection(\@mappables);
Function: Make the position that is at the intersection of all positions of all
supplied mappables.
Returns : L<Bio::Map::PositionI> object or undef (if not all positions overlap)
Args : arg #1 = L<Bio::Map::MappableI> OR L<Bio::Map::PositionI> to compare
this one to, or an array ref of such objects (mandatory)
