=head1 NAME
Bio::Factory::EMBOSS - EMBOSS application factory class
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Get an EMBOSS factory
use Bio::Factory::EMBOSS;
$f = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS -> new();
# Get an EMBOSS application object from the factory
$water = $f->program('water') || die "Program not found!\n";
# Here is an example of running the application - water can
# compare 1 sequence against 1 or more sequences using Smith-Waterman.
# Pass a Sequence object and a reference to an array of objects.
my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
$water->run({-asequence => $seq_object,
-bsequence => \@seq_objects,
-gapopen => '10.0',
-gapextend => '0.5',
-outfile => $wateroutfile});
# Now you might want to get the alignment
use Bio::AlignIO;
my $alnin = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'emboss',
-file => $wateroutfile);
while ( my $aln = $alnin->next_aln ) {
# process the alignment -- these will be Bio::SimpleAlign objects
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The EMBOSS factory class encapsulates access to EMBOSS programs. A
factory object allows creation of only known applications.
If you want to check command line options before sending them to the
program set $prog-E<gt>verbose to positive integer. The value is
passed on to programs objects and the ADC description of the available
command line options is parsed and compared to input.
See also L<Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication> and
L<Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSacd>.
=head1 FEEDBACK
=head2 Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the
Bioperl mailing lists Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
I<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.

=head2 program
Title : program
Usage : $embossfactory->program('program_name')
Function: Creates a representation of a single EMBOSS program and issues a
warning if the program was not found.
Returns : Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication object or undef
Args : string, program name
=cut

=head2 version
Title : $self->version
Usage : $embossfactory->version()
Function: gets the version of EMBOSS programs
Throws : if EMBOSS suite is not accessible
Returns : version value
Args : None
=cut

my ($self) = @_;
my $version = `embossversion -auto`;
$self->throw("EMBOSS suite of programs is not available") if $?;

# compare versions

}
=head2 Programs
These methods allow the programmer to query the EMBOSS suite and find
out which program names can be used and what arguments can be used.
=head2 program_info
Title : program_info
Usage : $embossfactory->program_info('emma')
Function: Finds out if the program is available.
Returns : definition string of the program, undef if program name not known
Args : string, prgramname
=cut
sub program_info {
my ($self, $value) = @_;
return $self->{'_programs'}->{$value};
}
=head2 Internal methods
Do not call these methods directly
=head2 _program_list
Title : _program_list
Usage : $embossfactory->_program_list()
Function: Finds out what programs are available.
Writes the names into an internal hash.
Returns : true if successful
Args : None
=cut
