  16 Bio::Map::MappableI - An object that can be placed in a map
  17
  18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
  19
  20     # do not use this module directly
  21     # See Bio::Map::Mappable for an example of
  22     # implementation.
  23
  24 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  25
  26 This object handles the generic notion of an element placed on a
  27 (linear) Map. A Mappable can have multiple positions in multiple maps, such as
  28 is the case of Restriction enzyme cut sites on sequence maps. For exact
  29 information about a mappable's position in a map one must query the associate
  30 PositionI objects which are accessible through the get_positions() method.
