Ace::Graphics::Glyph::transcript(3pm)

NAME

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::transcript - The "gene" glyph

SYNOPSIS

See L<Ace::Graphics::Panel> and L<Ace::Graphics::Glyph>.

DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws a series of filled rectangles connected by up-angled
connectors or "hats". The rectangles indicate exons; the hats are
introns. The direction of transcription is indicated by a small arrow at the end of the glyph, rightward for the + strand.

The feature must respond to the exons() and optionally introns() methods, or it will default to the generic display. Implied introns
(not returned by the introns() method) are drawn in a contrasting color to explicit introns.

OPTIONS

In addition to the common options, the following glyph-specific option is recognized:

Option Description Default
------ ----------- -------

-implied_intron_color The color to use for gaps gray

not returned by the introns()
method.

-draw_arrow Whether to draw arrowhead true

indicating direction of
transcription.
