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

Only the common options are recognized. There are no glyph-specific options.

BUGS

Please report them.
