=head1 NAME

Bio::Location::Simple - Implementation of a Simple Location on a Sequence

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::Location::Simple;

    my $location = Bio::Location::Simple->new(
        -start  => 1,
        -end    => 100,
        -strand => 1,
    );

    if( $location->strand == -1 ) {
        printf "complement(%d..%d)\n", $location->start, $location->end;
    } else {
        printf "%d..%d\n", $location->start, $location->end;
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is an implementation of Bio::LocationI to manage exact location
information on a Sequence: '22' or '12..15' or '16^17'.

You can test the type of the location using length() function () or
directly location_type() which can one of two values: 'EXACT' or
'IN-BETWEEN'.


=head1 FEEDBACK

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of 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 Reporting Bugs

=head2 is_remote

 Title   : is_remote
 Usage   : $is_remote_loc = $loc->is_remote()
 Function: Whether or not a location is a remote location.

           A location is said to be remote if it is on a different
           'object' than the object which 'has' this
           location. Typically, features on a sequence will sometimes
           have a remote location, which means that the location of
           the feature is on a different sequence than the one that is
           attached to the feature. In such a case, $loc->seq_id will
           be different from $feat->seq_id (usually they will be the
           same).

           While this may sound weird, it reflects the location of the
           kind of AL445212.9:83662..166657 which can be found in GenBank/EMBL
           feature tables.

 Example : 
 Returns : TRUE if the location is a remote location, and FALSE otherwise

=head2 valid_Location

 Title   : valid_Location
 Usage   : if ($location->valid_location) {...};

# trunc is untested, and as of now unannounced method for truncating a
# location.  This is to eventually be part of the procedure to
# truncate a sequence with annotation and properly remap the location
# of all the features contained within the truncated segment.

# where the truncation splits the location in half
# 
# in short- you probably don't want to use  this method.
