Bio::Map::EntityI - An Entity Interface
# do not use this module directly
This interface describes the basic methods required for entities. An Entity is a kind of Bio::Map object that holds instance-specific data but relies on registering itself with a PositionHandler to handle its relationships with other entities. These relationships between objects are based around shared Positions, so Bio::Map::PositionI objects are a special kind of EntityI, along with Bio::Map::MappableI and Bio::Map::MapI objects.
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : get_position_handler Usage : my $position_handler = $entity->get_position_handler(); Function: Gets a PositionHandlerI that $entity is registered with. Returns : Bio::Map::PositionHandlerI object Args : none
Any methods related to interation with other entities should be implemented as a call to the PositionHandler
