NAME

       Bio::SeqIO::asciitree - asciitree sequence input/output stream

SYNOPSIS

         # It is probably best not to use this object directly, but
         # rather go through the SeqIO handler system. Go:

           $instream  = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => $filename,
                                        -format => 'chadoxml');
           $outstream = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => $filename,
                                        -format => 'asciitree');

           while ( my $seq = $instream->next_seq() ) {
                   $outstream->write_seq();
           }

DESCRIPTION

       This is a WRITE-ONLY SeqIO module. It writes a Bio::SeqI object containing nested
       SeqFeature objects in such a way that the SeqFeature containment hierarchy is visible as a
       tree structure

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

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs

APPENDIX

       The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are
       usually preceded with a _

   show_detail
        Title   : show_detail
        Usage   : $obj->show_detail($newval)
        Function:
        Example :
        Returns : value of show_detail (a scalar)
        Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

   next_seq
        Title   : next_seq
        Usage   : $seq = $stream->next_seq()
        Function: returns the next sequence in the stream
        Returns : Bio::Seq object
        Args    :

   write_seq
        Title   : write_seq
        Usage   : $stream->write_seq($seq)
        Function: writes the $seq object (must be seq) to the stream
        Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error
        Args    : array of 1 to n Bio::SeqI objects
