       Bio::Graphics::DrawTransmembrane - draw a cartoon of an Alpha-helical transmembrane
       protein.

SYNOPSIS

         my @topology = (20,45,59,70,86,109,145,168,194,220);

         ## Simple use - -topology is the only option that is required

             -title => 'This is a cartoon displaying transmembrane helices.',
             -topology => \@topology);

         ## More advanced use

DESCRIPTION

       A module to draw a cartoon of an alpha-helical transmembrane protein. It uses GD and
       allows the image to be written to a .png file.

       The options are a set of tag/value pairs as follows:

         Option              Value                                         Default
         ------              -----                                         -------

         -topology           Array containing transmembrane helix          none
                             boundaries. This is the only option that
                             is required

         -topology_string    Alternative to -topology, provide a string    none
                             containing the topology data in the form

                                        190 => 'Binding Site');

                             The hash key must be numeric, ranges are
                             not allowed.

         -bold_labels        Draws black boxes round labels                0

         -text_offset        Shift the text labeling the loops. Use a      0
                             negative value to shift it left, a positive
                             value to shift it right

         -helix_height       Transmembrane helix height                    130

         -helix_width        Transmembrane helix width                     50

                             classed as long

         -loop_heights       Explicitly set heights of each loop, e.g.

                             %loop_heights = (1 => 45,
                                              2 => 220,
                                              3 => 50,

                             The key corresponds to the loop number. Both
                             key and value must be numeric. If you use
                             -loop_height and there is a defined height
                             for the current loop then other height values
                             will be overridden

         -n_terminal_height  Height of N-terminal                          150

         -c_terminal_height  Height of C-terminal                          80

         -n_terminal_offset  Shift the N-terminal left by this amount      0

         -c_terminal_offset  Shift the C-terminal right by this amount     0

         -helix_label        Change the 'S' label on each helix. Only 1    S
                             character is allowed

         -show_labels        Display text labels                           on

         -draw_cytosol       Show the cytosol                              false

         -draw_bilayer       Show the membrane                             true

         -draw_loops         Show the loops                                true

         -draw_terminai      Show the terminai                             true

         -draw_helices       Show the helices                              true

         -ttf_font           Path to TTF font, e.g.                        none
                             /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf

         -ttf_font_size      Default size for TTF font. Use 7-9 with       8
                             Arial for best results

       Height, width, padding and other numerical values can gernerally be left alone. They are
       useful if your labels consists of a lot of text as this may lead to them overlapping. In
       this case try increasing the loop_width or helix_width options. -text_offset is also very
       useful for avoiding overlapping.
