=head1 NAME
FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory - A FeatureTable Location Parser
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# parse a string into a location object
$loc = FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->from_string("join(100..200,
400..500");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Implementation of string-encoded location parsing for the Genbank feature
table encoding of locations.
=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 list. Your participation is much appreciated.
bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion
http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists
=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 Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the

=head2 new
Title : new
Usage : my $obj = FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->new();
Function: Builds a new FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory object
Returns : an instance of FAST::Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory
Args :
=cut
=head2 from_string
Title : from_string
Usage : $loc = $locfactory->from_string("100..200");
Function: Parses the given string and returns a FAST::Bio::LocationI implementing
object representing the location encoded by the string.
This implementation parses the Genbank feature table
encoding of locations.
Example :
Returns : A FAST::Bio::LocationI implementing object.
Args : A string.

=head2 _parse_location
Title : _parse_location
Usage : $loc = $locfactory->_parse_location( $loc_string)
