Bio::Graphics::Feature 1.4

Bio::Graphics::Feature is a simple feature object for use with Bio::Graphics::Panel.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Graphics::Feature;

# create a simple feature with no internal structure
$f = Bio::Graphics::Feature->new(-start => 1000,
-stop => 2000,
-type => transcript,
-name => alpha-1 antitrypsin,
-desc => an enzyme inhibitor,
);

# create a feature composed of multiple segments, all of type "similarity"
$f = Bio::Graphics::Feature->new(-segments => [[1000,1100],[1500,1550],[1800,2000]],
-name => ABC-3,
-type => gapped_alignment,
-subtype => similarity);

# build up a gene exon by exon
$e1 = Bio::Graphics::Feature->new(-start=>1,-stop=>100,-type=>exon);
$e2 = Bio::Graphics::Feature->new(-start=>150,-stop=>200,-type=>exon);
$e3 = Bio::Graphics::Feature->new(-start=>300,-stop=>500,-type=>exon);
$f = Bio::Graphics::Feature->new(-segments=>[$e1,$e2,$e3],-type=>gene);

This is a simple Bio::SeqFeatureI-compliant object that is compatible with Bio::Graphics::Panel. With it you can create lightweight feature objects for drawing.
