NAME

Bio::PhyloNetwork::TreeFactory - Module to sequentially generate Phylogenetic Trees

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use warnings;

use Bio::PhyloNetwork;
use Bio::PhyloNetwork::TreeFactory;

# Will generate sequentially all the 15 binary phylogetic
# trees with 4 leaves

my $factory=Bio::PhyloNetwork::TreeFactory->new(-numleaves=>4);

my @nets;

while (my $net=$factory->next_network()) {
  push @nets,$net;
  print "".(scalar @nets).": ".$net->eNewick()."\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

Sequentially builds a (binary) phylogenetic tree each time next_network is called.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $factory = new Bio::PhyloNetwork::TreeFactory();
Function: Creates a new Bio::PhyloNetwork::TreeFactory
Returns : Bio::PhyloNetwork::RandomFactory
Args    : -numleaves => integer
           OR
          -leaves => reference to an array (of leaves names)

Returns a Bio::PhyloNetwork::TreeFactory object. Such an object will sequentially create binary phylogenetic trees each time next_network is called.

If the parameter -leaves=>\@leaves is given, then the set of leaves of these networks will be @leaves. If it is given the parameter -numleaves=>$numleaves, then the set of leaves will be "l1"..."l$numleaves".

next_network

Title   : next_network
Usage   : my $net=$factory->next_network()
Function: returns a tree
Returns : Bio::PhyloNetwork
Args    : none
