NAME

Bio::NEXUS::DataBlock - Represents the deprecated DATA Block in NEXUS file.

SYNOPSIS

$block_object = new Bio::NEXUS::DataBlock($type, $block, $verbose, $taxlabels_ref);

DESCRIPTION

The DataBlock class represents the deprecated Data Block in a NEXUS file. Data Blocks are still used by some prominent programs, unfortunately, although they are essentially the same as a Characters Block and a Taxa Block combined. Data Blocks may be used as input, but are not output by the NEXPL library. For more information on Data Blocks, see the Characters Block documentation.

COMMENTS

Don't use this block type if you can help it.

FEEDBACK

All feedback (bugs, feature enhancements, etc.) are greatly appreciated.
