NAME

       Bio::Search::Hit::HitFactory - A factory to create Bio::Search::Hit::HitI objects

SYNOPSIS

	   use Bio::Search::Hit::HitFactory;
	   my $factory = Bio::Search::Hit::HitFactory->new();
	   my $resultobj = $factory->create(@args);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a general way of hiding the object creation process so that we can dynamically change the objects that are created by the SearchIO
       parser depending on what format report we are parsing.

       This object is for creating new Hits.
