  14 =head1 NAME
  15
  16 Bio::Location::WidestCoordPolicy - class implementing
  17 Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicy as the widest possible and reasonable range
  18
  19 =head1 SYNOPSIS
  20
  21 See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI
  22
  23 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  24
  25 CoordinatePolicyI implementing objects are used by Bio::LocationI
  26 implementing objects to determine integer-valued coordinates when
  27 asked for it.
  28
  29 This class will compute the coordinates such that always the widest possible
  30 range is returned, but by using some common sense. This means that e.g.
  31 locations like "E<lt>5..100" (start before position 5) will return 5 as start
  32 (returned values have to be positive integers).

  34 =head1 FEEDBACK
  35
  36 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
  37 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
  38 of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

  50 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
  51 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
  52 with code and data examples if at all possible.
