=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair - hold pair feature information e.g. blast hits

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $feat  = Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair->new(
        -feature1 => $f1,
        -feature2 => $f2,
    );

    # Bio::SeqFeatureI methods can be used

    my $start = $feat->start;
    my $end   = $feat->end;

    # Bio::FeaturePair methods can be used
    my $hstart = $feat->hstart;
    my $hend   = $feat->hend;

   my $feature1 = $feat->feature1;  # returns feature1 object

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A sequence feature object where the feature is itself a feature on
another sequence - e.g. a blast hit where residues 1-40 of a protein
sequence SW:HBA_HUMAN has hit to bases 100 - 220 on a genomic sequence
HS120G22.  The genomic sequence coordinates are used to create one
sequence feature $f1 and the protein coordinates are used to create
feature $f2.  A FeaturePair object can then be made

    my $fp = Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair->new(
        -feature1 => $f1,   # genomic
        -feature2 => $f2,   # protein
    );

This object can be used as a standard Bio::SeqFeatureI in which case

    my $gstart = $fp->start  # returns start coord on feature1 - genomic seq.
    my $gend   = $fp->end    # returns end coord on feature1.

In general standard Bio::SeqFeatureI method calls return information
in feature1.

Data in the feature 2 object are generally obtained using the standard
methods prefixed by h (for hit!)

    my $pstart = $fp->hstart # returns start coord on feature2 = protein seq.
    my $pend   = $fp->hend   # returns end coord on feature2.

If you wish to swap feature1 and feature2 around :

    $feat->invert

so... 

    $feat->start # etc. returns data in $feature2 object


No sub_SeqFeatures or tags can be stored in this object directly.  Any
features or tags are expected to be stored in the contained objects
feature1, and feature2.

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   :
 Function: Constructor for this module. Accepts the following parameters:

             -feature1   Bio::SeqFeatureI-compliant object
             -feature2   Bio::SeqFeatureI-compliant object
             -feature_factory  Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant
                         object to be used when feature1 and/or feature2
                         are accessed without explicitly set before. This
                         is mostly useful for derived classes who want to
                         set their preferred class for feature objects.

 Example :
 Returns : 
 Args    : see above


=cut

sub new {
    my ($class, @args) = @_;

    #
    # We've got a certain problem here that somewhat relates to chicken and
    # eggs. The problem is, we override a lot of SeqFeatureI methods here
    # to delegate them to either feature1 or feature2. If we pass along
    # those attributes right away, we need feature1 or feature2 or the feature
    # factory in place, or there is no way around the dreaded default, which
    # is ugly too (as it necessitates subsequent copying if you wanted a
    # different feature object class).
    #
    # So I decided to go with the lesser of two evils here: we need to assume
    # here that we can set all attributes through set_attributes(), which we
    # assume is no different from setting them through the constructor. This
    # gives us a window to set the feature objects and the factory, such that
    # any derived class doesn't have to worry about this any more.
    #
    # I'm happy to hear a better solution, but I think this one isn't so bad.
    #
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new();
    my ($feature1,$feature2,$featfact) =

                               FEATURE_FACTORY )],@args);
    
    $self->_register_for_cleanup(\&cleanup_fp);
    # initialize the feature object factory if not provided
    if(! $featfact) {
        $featfact = Bio::Factory::ObjectFactory->new(
            -type => "Bio::SeqFeature::Generic",
            -interface => "Bio::SeqFeatureI"
        );
    }
    $self->feature_factory($featfact);
    # Store the features in the object
    $feature1 && $self->feature1($feature1);
    $feature2 && $self->feature2($feature2);
    
    # OK. Now we're setup to store all the attributes, and they'll go right
    # away into the right objects.
    $self->set_attributes(@args);

    # done - we hope

 Title   : feature_factory
 Usage   : $obj->feature_factory($newval)
 Function: Get/set the feature object factory for this feature pair.

           The feature object factory will be used to create a feature
           object if feature1() or feature2() is called in get mode
           without having been set before.

           The default is an instance of Bio::Factory::ObjectFactory
           and hence allows the type to be changed dynamically at any
           time.

 Example : 
 Returns : The feature object factory in use (a 
           Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object)
 Args    : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object
