       string

SYNOPSIS

        # Do not use directly, see Bio::Factory::LocationFactory for example
        use Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory;
        my $locfact = Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->new();
        my $location = $locfact->from_string("1..200");
        print $location->start(), " ", $location->end(), " ", $location->strand,"\n";

DESCRIPTION

       An interface for Location Factories which generate Bio::LocationI objects from a string.

       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.

APPENDIX

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

   from_string
        Title   : from_string
        Usage   : $loc = $locfactory->from_string("100..200");
        Function: Parses the given string and returns a Bio::LocationI implementing
                  object representing the location encoded by the string.

                  Different implementations may support different encodings. An
                  example of a commonly used encoding is the Genbank feature table
                  encoding of locations.
        Example :
        Returns : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.
        Args    : A string.
