Ace::Graphics::Glyph::segments(3pm)
NAME
Ace::Graphics::Glyph::segments - The "discontinuous segments" glyph
SYNOPSIS
See L<Ace::Graphics::Panel> and L<Ace::Graphics::Glyph>.
DESCRIPTION
This glyph draws a sequence feature that consists of multiple
discontinuous segments, such as the exons on a transcript or a gapped
alignment. The representation is a series of filled rectangles
connected by line segments.
- The features passed to it must either respond to the
Bio::SequenceFeatureI-style subSeqFeatures() method, or the AcePerl/Das-style segments() or merged_segments() methods. - OPTIONS
- In addition to the common options, this glyph recognizes the
b<-stranded> argument. If b<-stranded> is true and the feature is an
alignment (has the target() method) then the glyph will draw little arrows in the segment boxes to indicate the direction of the alignment.
BUGS
Please report them.
