NAME
Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Datatype::Mixed - Datatype subclass, no serviceable parts inside
DESCRIPTION
The Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Datatype::* classes are used to validated data contained by Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Matrix and Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Datum objects.
METHODS
MUTATORS
- set_missing()
-
Type : Mutator Title : set_missing Usage : $obj->set_missing('?'); Function: Sets the symbol for missing data Returns : Modified object. Args : Argument must be a single character, default is '?'
- set_gap()
-
Type : Mutator Title : set_gap Usage : $obj->set_gap('-'); Function: Sets the symbol for gaps Returns : Modified object. Args : Argument must be a single character, default is '-'
ACCESSORS
- get_missing()
-
Type : Accessor Title : get_missing Usage : my $missing = $obj->get_missing; Function: Returns the object's missing data symbol Returns : A string Args : None
- get_gap()
-
Type : Accessor Title : get_gap Usage : my $gap = $obj->get_gap; Function: Returns the object's gap symbol Returns : A string Args : None
- get_type()
-
Type : Accessor Title : get_type Usage : my $type = $obj->get_type; Function: Returns the object's datatype Returns : A string Args : None
TESTS
- is_valid()
-
Type : Test Title : is_valid Usage : if ( $obj->is_valid($datum) ) { # do something } Function: Returns true if $datum only contains valid characters Returns : BOOLEAN Args : A Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Datum object
