# Bio::Location::WidestCoordPolicy(3pm)

class implementing Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicy as the widest possible and reasonable range

## NAME

Bio::Location::WidestCoordPolicy - class implementing  Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicy as the widest possible and reasonable range

## SYNOPSIS

See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI

## DESCRIPTION

CoordinatePolicyI implementing objects are used by Bio::LocationI implementing objects to determine integer-valued coordinates when asked for it.

This class will compute the coordinates such that always the widest possible range is returned, but by using some common sense. This means that e.g. locations like "\<5..100" (start before position 5) will return 5 as start (returned values have to be positive integers).

## 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.

### Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

*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.

### Reporting Bugs

## APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a \_

### start

```
  Title   : start
  Usage   : $start = $policy->start($location);
  Function: Get the integer-valued start coordinate of the given location as
            computed by this computation policy.
  Returns : A positive integer number.
  Args    : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.
```

### end

```
  Title   : end
  Usage   : $end = $policy->end($location);
  Function: Get the integer-valued end coordinate of the given location as
            computed by this computation policy.
  Returns : A positive integer number.
  Args    : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.
```
