NAME

Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type - Represents the type of a BarMap mapping (exact or approximate)

SYNOPSIS

    use v5.12;                                              # for 'say'
    use Bio::RNA::BarMap;

    # Get a new mapping type object ... from arrow string:
    my $type = Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->new('->');  # exact
       $type = Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->new('~>');  # approx

    # ... or programmatically:
    $type = Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->exact;         # exact
    $type = Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->approx;        # approx

    # Verify mapping type.
    say 'Mapping is ', $type->is_exact  ? 'exact' : 'approximate';
    say 'Mapping arrow: ', $type->arrow;

DESCRIPTION

The objects of this class are used to represent the two possible types of a mapping, either exact or approximate, and to easily convert between these two values and their respective arrow representation. In BarMap files, -> denotes an exact mapping, and ~> an approximate one. The object is constructed from the arrow string via the constructor new(), or using the methods exact() and approx() to get a new object of the respective type.

METHODS

Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->new($arrow_string)

Constructs a new type object from its arrow string representation, i. e. -> for the exact and ~> for the approximate variant.

Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->exact()

Class method. Returns a new mapping type object of exact type.

Bio::RNA::BarMap::Mapping::Type->approx()

Class method. Returns a new mapping type object of approximate type.

$type->is_exact()

Returns true iff the current object is of exact type.

$type->is_approx()

Returns true iff the current object is of approximate type.

$type->arrow()

Returns the type of this object in its arrow string representation, i. e. -> for the exact and ~> for the approximate.
