NAME

Bio::Graphics::FeatureFile - Parse a simple feature file format into a form suitable for rendering

SYNOPSIS

This package parses and renders a simple tab-delimited format for features. It is simpler than GFF, but still has a lot of expressive power.

Documentation is pending, but see the file format here, and eg/feature_draw.pl for an example of usage.
