NAME
Bio::Matrix::PhylipDist - A Phylip Distance Matrix object
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Tools::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist;
my $dist = Bio::Tools::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new(
-file=>"protdist.out",
-program=>"ProtDist");
#or
my $dist = Bio::Tools::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new(
-fh=>"protdist.out",
-program=>"ProtDist");
#get specific entries
my $distance_value = $dist->get_entry('ALPHA','BETA');
my @columns = $dist->get_column('ALPHA');
my @rows = $dist->get_row('BETA');
my @diagonal = $dist->get_diagonal();
#print the matrix in phylip numerical format
print $dist->print_matrix;
DESCRIPTION
Simple object for holding Distance Matrices generated by the following Phylip programs:
1) dnadist 2) protdist 3) restdist
It currently handles parsing of the matrix without the data output option.

FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
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.
