This module defines concrete subclasses for the abstract character matrix components that all character matrices must implement. The subclasses defined here apply to restriction site data. In a verbose notation, this data is represented as the "state" attribute which references an explicit state definition. In a compact notation, the same data is represented as a sequence of tokens (whitespace is allowed but has no meaning). This is a concrete implementation of the state element, which requires a symbol element, in this case restricted to 0/1. A container for a set of states. A concrete implementation of the char element, which requires a unique identifier and a state set reference. The RestrictionFormat class is the container of restriction column definitions. This is a single cell in a matrix containing a restriction site observation. This is a simple type that specifies a sequence of restriction site characters. This is a row in a matrix of restriction site data as character sequences. This is a row in a matrix of restriction site data as granular obervations. A matrix of rows with seq strings of type restriction. A matrix of rows with single character observations. A restriction site characters block consisting of sequences preceded by metadata. A standard characters block consisting of granular cells preceded by metadata.
