Bio::Coordinate::MapperI - Interface describing coordinate mappers
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# not to be used directly
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MapperI defines methods for classes capable for mapping locations
between coordinate systems.

=head2 in
Title : in
Usage : $obj->in('peptide');
Function: Set and read the input coordinate system.
Example :
Returns : value of input system
Args : new value (optional), Bio::LocationI
=cut
sub in {
my ($self,$value) = @_;
$self->throw_not_implemented();
}
=head2 out
Title : out
Usage : $obj->out('peptide');
Function: Set and read the output coordinate system.
Example :
Returns : value of output system
Args : new value (optional), Bio::LocationI
=cut
sub out {
my ($self,$value) = @_;
$self->throw_not_implemented();
}
=head2 swap
Title : swap
Usage : $obj->swap;
Function: Swap the direction of mapping: input <-> output)
Example :
Returns : 1
Args :
=cut
sub swap {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->throw_not_implemented();
}
=head2 test
Title : test
Usage : $obj->test;
Function: test that both components are of same length
Example :
Returns : ( 1 | undef )
Args :
=cut
sub test {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->throw_not_implemented();
}
=head2 map
Title : map
Usage : $newpos = $obj->map($loc);
Function: Map the location from the input coordinate system
to a new value in the output coordinate system.
Example :
Returns : new value in the output coordiante system
Args : Bio::LocationI
=cut
sub map {
my ($self,$value) = @_;
$self->throw_not_implemented();
}
=head2 return_match
Title : return_match
Usage : $obj->return_match(1);
Function: A flag to turn on the simplified mode of
returning only one joined Match object or undef
Example :
Returns : boolean
Args : boolean (optional)
=cut
sub return_match {
my ($self,$value) = @_;
if( defined $value) {
$value ? ( $self->{'_return_match'} = 1 ) :
( $self->{'_return_match'} = 0 );
}
return $self->{'_return_match'} || 0 ;
}
1;
