Bio::Matrix::PhylipDist(3pm)

NAME

Bio::Matrix::PhylipDist - A Phylip Distance Matrix object

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist;
  my $dist = Bio::Tools::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new(
    -file=>"protdist.out",
    -program=>"ProtDist");
  #or
   my $dist = Bio::Tools::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new(
    -fh=>"protdist.out",
    -program=>"ProtDist");
  #get specific entries
  my $distance_value = $dist->get_entry('ALPHA','BETA');
  my @columns        = $dist->get_column('ALPHA');
  my @rows           = $dist->get_row('BETA');
  my @diagonal       = $dist->get_diagonal();
  #print the matrix in phylip numerical format
  print $dist->print_matrix;

DESCRIPTION

Simple object for holding Distance Matrices generated by the following Phylip programs:

1) dnadist 2) protdist 3) restdist

It currently handles parsing of the matrix without the data output option.
