14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::Map::PositionHandler - A Position Handler Implementation
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 # This is used by modules when they want to implement being a
21 # Position or being something that has Positions (when they are
22 # a L<Bio::Map::EntityI>)
24 # Make a PositionHandler that knows about you
25 my $ph = Bio::Map::PositionHandler->new($self);
27 # Register with it so that it handles your Position-related needs
28 $ph->register;
30 # If you are a position, get/set the map you are on and the marker you are
31 # for
32 $ph->map($map);
33 $ph->element($marker);
34 my $map = $ph->map;
35 my $marker = $ph->element;
37 # If you are a marker, add a new position to yourself
38 $ph->add_positions($pos);
40 # And then get all your positions on a particular map
41 foreach my $pos ($ph->get_positions($map)) {
42 # do something with this Bio::Map::PositionI
45 # Or find out what maps you exist on
46 my @maps = $ph->get_other_entities;
48 # The same applies if you were a map
50 =head1 DESCRIPTION
52 A Position Handler copes with the coordination of different Bio::Map::EntityI
53 objects, adding and removing them from each other and knowning who belongs to
54 who. These relationships between objects are based around shared Positions,
55 hence PositionHandler.
57 This PositionHandler is able to cope with Bio::Map::PositionI objects,
58 Bio::Map::MappableI objects and Bio::Map::MapI objects.

64 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
65 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
66 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

71 =head2 Support
73 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
75 I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
77 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
78 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
79 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
80 with code and data examples if at all possible.
