=head1 NAME

Bio::Location::Fuzzy - Implementation of a Location on a Sequence
which has unclear start and/or end locations

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::Location::Fuzzy;
    my $fuzzylocation = Bio::Location::Fuzzy->new(
                                                 -start => '<30',
                                                 -end   => 90,
                                                 -location_type => '..');

    print "location string is ", $fuzzylocation->to_FTstring(), "\n";
    print "location is of the type ", $fuzzylocation->location_type, "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module contains the necessary methods for representing a
Fuzzy Location, one that does not have clear start and/or end points.
This will initially serve to handle features from Genbank/EMBL feature
tables that are written as 1^100 meaning between bases 1 and 100 or
E100..300 meaning it starts somewhere before 100.  Advanced
implementations of this interface may be able to handle the necessary
logic of overlaps/intersection/contains/union.  It was constructed to
handle fuzzy locations that can be represented in Genbank/EMBL and
Swissprot.

=head1 FEEDBACK

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.

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.

  Title   : coordinate_policy

  Usage   : $policy = $location->coordinate_policy();

  Function: Get the coordinate computing policy employed by this object.

            See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI for documentation about
            the policy object and its use.

            The interface *does not* require implementing classes to accept
            setting of a different policy. The implementation provided here
            does, however, allow one to do so.

            Implementors of this interface are expected to initialize every
            new instance with a CoordinatePolicyI object. The implementation
            provided here will return a default policy object if none has
            been set yet. To change this default policy object call this
            method as a class method with an appropriate argument. Note that
            in this case only subsequently created Location objects will be
            affected.

  Returns : A Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI implementing object.
  Args    : On set, a Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI implementing object.
