=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::GFF - A Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI compliant GFF format parser

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::Tools::GFF;

    # specify input via -fh or -file
    my $gffio = Bio::Tools::GFF->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -gff_version => 2);
    my $feature;
    # loop over the input stream
    while($feature = $gffio->next_feature()) {
        # do something with feature
    }
    $gffio->close();

    # you can also obtain a GFF parser as a SeqAnalasisParserI in
    # HT analysis pipelines (see Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI and
    # Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactory)
    my $factory = Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactory->new();
    my $parser = $factory->get_parser(-input => \*STDIN, -method => "gff");
    while($feature = $parser->next_feature()) {
        # do something with feature
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class provides a simple GFF parser and writer. In the sense of a
SeqAnalysisParser, it parses an input file or stream into SeqFeatureI
objects, but is not in any way specific to a particular analysis
program and the output that program produces.

That is, if you can get your analysis program spit out GFF, here is
your result parser.

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : 
 Function: Creates a new instance. Recognized named parameters are -file, -fh,
           and -gff_version.

 Returns : a new object
 Args    : names parameters

}

=head2 next_feature

 Title   : next_feature
 Usage   : $seqfeature = $gffio->next_feature();
 Function: Returns the next feature available in the input file or stream, or
           undef if there are no more features.
 Example :
 Returns : A Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing object, or undef if there are no
           more features.
 Args    : none

=head2 from_gff_string

 Title   : from_gff_string
 Usage   : $gff->from_gff_string($feature, $gff_string);
 Function: Sets properties of a SeqFeatureI object from a GFF-formatted
           string. Interpretation of the string depends on the version
           that has been specified at initialization.

           This method is used by next_feature(). It actually dispatches to
           one of the version-specific (private) methods.
 Example :
 Returns : void
 Args    : A Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing object to be initialized
           The GFF-formatted string to initialize it from
