Section: Feature Object Constructors

All constructors return a new feature or feature table set by pointer. It is the responsibility of the user to first destroy any previous feature. The target pointer does not need to be initialised to NULL, but it is good programming practice to do so anyway.

Generally, however, the AjPFeattable feature table object will first be created, prior to creating any 'AjPFeature' objects and adding them.

To replace or reuse an existing feature object see instead the Feature Assignments and Feature Modifiers methods.

Functions:
ajFeatNewConstructor - must specify associated 'ajFeattable' to which the new feature is automatically added!
ajFeatNewBetweenSimple constructor with location between the start positions and the previous base.
ajFeatNewSubConstructor - must specify associated 'ajFeattable' to which the new feature is automatically added!
ajFeatNewIISimple constructor with only start and end positions
ajFeatNewIISubSimple constructor with only start and end positions
ajFeatNewIIRevSimple constructor with only start and end positions, sets feature to be on the reverse strand
ajFeatNewIIRevSubSimple constructor with only start and end positions, sets feature to be on the reverse strand
ajFeatNewProtConstructor - must specify associated 'ajFeattable' to which the new feature is automatically added!
ajFeatNewProtSubConstructor - must specify associated 'ajFeattable' to which the new feature is automatically added!
