NAME

Bio::Graphics::RendererI - A renderer for the Bio::Graphics class that renders Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionI objects onto Bio::Graphics::Panels using configuration information provided by a Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# Get a renderer somehow, called $renderer
# create a new panel and render contents a feature collection onto it
my $config = new ConfigIO( $config_file )->getConfig();
my $features = $data_provider->getCollection();
my ( $tracks_rendered, $panel ) = $renderer->render( $features, $prefs );
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Renderer of Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionIs (collections of features) onto a Bio::Graphics::Panel using a Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI for general and track-specific rendering options.

Title   : render
Usage   : ( $rendered, $panel ) =
              $renderer->render( $collection, $configurator [, $panel ] );
Function: Renders the SeqFeatures in the given collection onto a
          Bio::Graphics::Panel (if no panel is given, one will be
          created), using the given Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI for general
          and track-specific rendering options.
Returns : In a scalar context returns the number of tracks rendered.
          In a list context, returns a two-element list containing
          the number of features rendered and the panel.
Args    : A Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionI and a Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI
          and optionally a Bio::Graphics::Panel.
Status  : Public
