=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqFeature::PositionProxy - handle features when truncation/revcom sequences span a feature

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   $proxy = new Bio::SeqFeature::PositionProxy ( -loc => $loc,
                                                 -parent => $basefeature);

   $seq->add_SeqFeature($feat);



=head1 DESCRIPTION

PositionProxy is a Proxy Sequence Feature to handle truncation
and revcomp without duplicating all the data within the sequence features.
It holds a new location for a sequence feature and the original feature
it came from to provide the additional annotation information.

=head1 DEVELOPERS

This class has been written with an eye out of inheritence. The fields
the actual object hash are:

   _gsf_tag_hash  = reference to a hash for the tags
   _gsf_sub_array = reference to an array for sub arrays
   _gsf_start     = scalar of the start point
   _gsf_end       = scalar of the end point
   _gsf_strand    = scalar of the strand

=head1 APPENDIX

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

 Title   : attach_seq
 Usage   : $sf->attach_seq($seq)
 Function: Attaches a Bio::Seq object to this feature. This
           Bio::Seq object is for the *entire* sequence: ie
           from 1 to 10000
 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success
 Args    :

   return $self->{'_gsf_seq'};
}


=head2 seqname

 Title   : seqname
 Usage   : $obj->seq_id($newval)
 Function: There are many cases when you make a feature that you
           do know the sequence name, but do not know its actual
           sequence. This is an attribute such that you can store
           the seqname.

           This attribute should *not* be used in GFF dumping, as
           that should come from the collection in which the seq
           feature was found.
 Returns : value of seqname
 Args    : newvalue (optional)


=cut

sub seqname {
    my ($obj,$value) = @_;
    if ( defined $value ) {

=cut
