Description ↑

This class handles the essential storage of name, type and units of a map. It includes Bio::Map::ActsLikeMap, and therefore supports the methods of that module.

Usage ↑

my_map1 = Bio::Map::SimpleMap.new('RH_map_ABC (2006)', 'RH', 'cR')
my_map1.add_marker(Bio::Map::Marker.new('marker_a', '17')
my_map1.add_marker(Bio::Map::Marker.new('marker_b', '5')
