NAME¶
Bio::Graphics::FeatureDir -- A directory of feature files and conf files
SYNOPSIS¶
my $fd = Bio::Graphics::FeatureDir->new('/path/to/dir');
$fd->add_file('tracks.conf');
$fd->add_file('foo.gff3');
$fd->add_file('foo.wig');
$fd->add_fh(\*STDIN);
my $option = $fd->setting('EST' => 'bgcolor');
my @features = $fd->get_features_by_name('M101');
DESCRIPTION¶
This class implements most of the methods of Bio::Graphics::FeatureFile, but
stores the data files and features in a directory indexed by the
Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::berkeleydb adaptor. Therefore it is fast.
Methods¶
- $fd = Bio::Graphics::FeatureDir->new('/path/to/dir');
- $fd = Bio::Graphics::FeatureDir->new(-dir => '/path/to/dir');
- Create a new FeatureDir, based in the indicated directory. In addition to
the -dir directory argument, it takes any of the options that can be
passed to Bio::Graphics::FeatureFile except for the -file and -text
arguments;
- $db->_init_featuredb
- Internal method. Initializes the underlying feature database.
- $db->_init_conf
- Internal method -- initialize the configuration file(s)
- $created = $db->_maybe_create_dir($dir)
- Create $dir and its parents if it doesn't exist. Return true if the
directory was created. Throws an exception on filesystem errors.
- $dir = $db->dir
- Returns the base directory.
- $conf = $db->conf
- Returns the underlying Bio::Graphics::FeatureFile object
- $db = $db->db
- Returns the underlying Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store object
- $db->add_file($file)
- Add the file to the directory. Can add files of type .fa, .gff, .gff3,
.conf and .ff.
- $db->add_fh(\*FILEHANDLE [,'name'])
- Add the contents of the indicated filehandle to repository. Name is
optional; if provided it will be used as the base for all files
created.
