NAME

       Bio::PrimerDesigner::Table -- Draw HTML tables for PCR primer display

DESCRIPTION

       Draws simple HTML tables to display Bio::PrimerDesigner PCR primer design and e-PCR
       results for web applications.

METHODS

   info_table
       Prints a two-column table for generic, key-value style annotations.  Expects to be passed
       the name of the gene/feature/etc. and a hash of attributes. If there is an 'image' key,
       the value is assumed to be an image URL, which is printed in a double-wide cell at the
       bottom of the table.

         my $gene       = 'Abc-1';
         my %gene_info  = (
             Chromosome => I,
             Start      => 100450,
             Stop       => 102893,
             Strand     => '+'
         );

         my $page = Bio::PrimerDesigner::Tables->new;
         $page->info_table( $gene, %gene_info );

   PCR_header
       Returns a generic header for the PCR primer table.  Does not expect any argumments.

   PCR_set
       Returns the top row for the PCR primer table.  Expects the primer set number as its only
       argument.

   PCR_row
       Returns table rows with PCR primer info.  Should be called once for each primer pair.
       Expects to be passed a hash containing the Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result object and the
       primer set number and an (optional) label.

         my $pcr_row =  PCR_row(
             primers => $result_obj,
             setnum  => $set_number,
             label   => $label
         );

   ePCR_row
       Returns table rows summarizing e-PCR results.  Expects to be passed an
       Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result e-PCR results object and an optional e-PCR label.

   render
       Renders the image URL. Expects to be passed a hash of the map start and stop, and other
       features to be mapped (i.e.  gene,forward_primer,reverse_primer, label,start and stop of
       each feature, and gene strand).

         my $image =  $page->render(
             start => $startleft,
             stop  => $startright,
             feat  => $features
         );

   PCR_map
       Returns a 6 column wide table cell with the <IMG ...> info.  Will display the image of
       mapped primers in the browser when passed the image URL.
