NAME

Bio::MAGETAB::Util::Reader::ADF - ADF parser class.

SYNOPSIS

 use Bio::MAGETAB::Util::Reader::ADF;
 my $parser = Bio::MAGETAB::Util::Reader::ADF->new({
     uri => $adf_filename,
 });
 my $array_design = $parser->parse();

DESCRIPTION

This class is used to parse ADF files. It can be used on its own, but more often you will want to use the main Bio::MAGETAB::Util::Reader class which handles extended parsing options more transparently.

ATTRIBUTES

See the TagValueFile class for superclass attributes.

magetab_object: A Bio::MAGETAB::ArrayDesign object. This can either be set upon instantiation, or a new object will be created for you. It can be retrieved at any time using get_magetab_object.

METHODS

parse: Parse the ADF pointed to by $self->get_uri(). Returns the Bio::MAGETAB::ArrayDesign object updated with the ADF contents.
