# data types follow semantics like this, though with different
# symbols in lookup table and matrix

DESCRIPTION

This module defines a container object that holds Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Datum objects. The matrix object inherits from Bio::Phylo::MatrixRole, so the methods defined there apply here.

METHODS

MUTATORS

set_statelabels()

Sets argument state labels.

Type    : Mutator
Title   : set_statelabels
Usage   : $matrix->set_statelabels( [ [ 'state1', 'state2' ] ] );
Function: Assigns state labels.
Returns : $self
Args    : ARRAY, or nothing (to reset);
          The array is two-dimensional, 
          the first index is to indicate
          the column the labels apply to,
          the second dimension the states
          (sorted numerically or alphabetically,
          depending on what's appropriate)
set_characters()

Sets the character set manager object Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Characters. Normally you never have to use this.

Type    : Mutator
Title   : set_characters
Usage   : $matrix->set_characters( $characters );
Function: Assigns Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Characters object
Returns : $self
Args    : Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Characters
set_gapmode()

Defines matrix gapmode.

Type    : Mutator
Title   : set_gapmode
Usage   : $matrix->set_gapmode( 1 );
Function: Defines matrix gapmode ( false = missing, true = fifth state )
Returns : $self
Args    : boolean
set_matchchar()

Assigns match symbol.

Type    : Mutator

Args    : ARRAY
set_polymorphism()

Defines matrix 'polymorphism' interpretation.

Type    : Mutator
Title   : set_polymorphism
Usage   : $matrix->set_polymorphism( 1 );
Function: Defines matrix 'polymorphism' interpretation
          ( false = uncertainty, true = polymorphism )
Returns : $self
Args    : boolean
set_respectcase()

Defines matrix case sensitivity interpretation.

Type    : Mutator
Title   : set_respectcase
Usage   : $matrix->set_respectcase( 1 );
Function: Defines matrix case sensitivity interpretation
          ( false = disregarded, true = "respectcase" )

Function: Returns matrix 'polymorphism' interpretation
          ( false = uncertainty, true = polymorphism )
