APPENDIX

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

get/set methods

The following methods can be used to set or retrieve an attribute for a feature object. Call them as in (a) to set an attribute, or as in (b) to retrieve the value of an attribute:

(a) $ftr->method('new_value');
(b) $ftr->method();

Note that no attempt is made to validate the values you store using an accessor method.

The following methods, along with brief descriptions of their purpose, are available:

Method                   Purpose
------                   -------
x                        the x-axis component of the feature's coordinate
                         position on the array.

y                        the y-axis component of the feature's coordinate
                         position on the array.

is_match                 1 if the feature is a reverse-compliment of the
                         sequence it is measuring, 0 or undef if it is not
                         a reverse compliment

is_masked                1 if the feature has been masked out, i.e. should
                         be excluded from further data analysis, undef or
                         0 if the feature should be used

is_outlier               1 if the feature's value is dissimilar to the other
                         features in the same of set.  0 or undef if the
                         value is similar to the other features.

is_modified              1 if the feature's value has been modified after
                         quantitation.  0 or undef if the value has not
                         been modified after quantitation.
