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 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.

Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ =cut # Let the code begin... package Bio::Ontology::RelationshipFactory; use strict; use Bio::Root::Root; use base qw(Bio::Factory::ObjectFactory); =head2 new Title : new Usage : my $obj = Bio::Ontology::RelationshipFactory->new(); Function: Builds a new Bio::Ontology::RelationshipFactory object Returns : Bio::Ontology::RelationshipFactory Args : -type => string, name of a Bio::Ontology::RelationshipI derived class. The default is Bio::Ontology::Relationship. See L, L. =cut sub new { my($class,@args) = @_; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args); # make sure this matches our requirements $self->interface("Bio::Ontology::RelationshipI"); $self->type($self->type() || "Bio::Ontology::Relationship"); return $self; } 1;
