# Bio::Factory::BlastHitFactory(3pm)

Bio::Factory::BlastHitFactory - Factory for Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit objects

```
    use Bio::Factory::BlastHitFactory;
```

```
    my $hit_fact = Bio::Factory::BlastHitFactory->new();
```

```
    my $hit = $hit_fact->create_hit( %parameters );
```

See documentation for *create\_hit()* for information about `%parameters`. This module encapsulates code for creating Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit and Bio::Search::HSP::BlastHSP objects from traditional BLAST report data (i.e., non-XML formatted).\

 Title   : create_hit
 Usage   : $hit = $factory->create_hit( %params );
 Function: Creates a new Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit object given
           raw BLAST report data, formatted in traditional BLAST report format.
 Returns : A single Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit object
 Args    : Named parameters to be passed to the BlastHit object.
           Parameter keys are case-insensitive.
           See Bio::Search::Hit::BlastHit::new() documentation for
           details about these parameters.
           The only additional parameter required is:
              -RESULT    => a Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult object.
           From this result object, the program, query length,
           and iteration are obtained and passed on to the BlastHit.
