14             =head1 NAME
15              
16             Bio::Map::Mappable - An object representing a generic map element
17             that can have multiple locations in several maps.
18              
19             =head1 SYNOPSIS
20              
21             # a map element in two different positions on the same map
22             $map1 = Bio::Map::SimpleMap->new();
23             $position1 = Bio::Map::Position->new(-map => $map1, -value => 100);
24             $position2 = Bio::Map::Position->new(-map => $map1, -value => 200);
25             $mappable = Bio::Map::Mappable->new(-positions => [$position1, $position2] );
26              
27             # add another position on a different map
28             $map2 = Bio::Map::SimpleMap->new();
29             $position3 = Bio::Map::Position->new(-map => $map2, $value => 50);
30             $mappable->add_position($position3);
31              
32             # get all the places our map element is found, on a particular map of interest
33             foreach $pos ($mappable->get_positions($map1)) {
34             print $pos->value, "\n";
35             }
36              
37             =head1 DESCRIPTION
38              
39             This object handles the notion of a generic map element. Mappables are
40             entities with one or more positions on one or more maps.
41              
42             This object is a pure perl implementation of L. That
43             interface implements some of its own methods so check the docs there for
44             those.
