NAME

       Bio::Graphics::Glyph::translation - The "6-frame translation" glyph

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This glyph draws the conceptual translation of DNA sequences.  At high magnifications, it
       simply draws lines indicating open reading frames.  At low magnifications, it draws a
       conceptual protein translation.  Options can be used to set 1-frame, 3-frame or 6-frame
       translations.

   OPTIONS
       The following options are standard among all Glyphs.  See Bio::Graphics::Glyph for a full
       explanation.

         Option      Description                      Default

         -font         Glyph font                     gdSmallFont

         -connector    Connector type                 0 (false)

         -connector_color
                       Connector color                black

         -translation  Type of translation to      1frame
                       perform.  One of "1frame",
                       "3frame", or "6frame"

         -strand       Forward (+1) or reverse (-1) +1
                       translation.

         -frame0       Color for the first frame    fgcolor

         -frame1       Color for the second frame   fgcolor

         -frame2       Color for the third frame    fgcolor

         -gridcolor    Color for the horizontal     lightgrey
                       lines of the reading frames

         -start_codons Draw little arrowheads       0 (false)
                       indicating start codons

         -stop_codons  Draw little vertical ticks   1 (true)

         -show_sequence Show the amino acid sequence 1 (true)
                       if there's room.

         -triletter_code Show the 3-letter amino acid 0 (false)
                       code if there's room

         -codontable   Codon table to use           1 (see Bio::Tools::CodonTable)

SUGGESTED STANZA FOR GENOME BROWSER

       This produces a nice gbrowse display in which the DNA/GC Content glyph is sandwiched
       between the forward and reverse three-frame translations.  The frames are color-
       coordinated with the example configuration for the "cds" glyph.

        [TranslationF]
        glyph        = translation
        global feature = 1
        frame0       = cadetblue
        frame1       = blue
        frame2       = darkblue
        height       = 20
        fgcolor      = purple
        strand       = +1
        translation  = 3frame
        key          = 3-frame translation (forward)

        [DNA/GC Content]
        glyph        = dna
        global feature = 1
        height       = 40
        do_gc        = 1
        fgcolor      = red
        axis_color   = blue

        [TranslationR]
        glyph        = translation
        global feature = 1
        frame0       = darkred
        frame1       = red
        frame2       = crimson
        height       = 20
        fgcolor      = blue
        strand       = -1
        translation  = 3frame
        key          = 3-frame translation (reverse)
