NAME

       Ace::Graphics::Glyph::segments - The "discontinuous segments" glyph

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This glyph draws a sequence feature that consists of multiple discontinuous segments, such
       as the exons on a transcript or a gapped alignment.  The representation is a series of
       filled rectangles connected by line segments.

       The features passed to it must either respond to the Bio::SequenceFeatureI-style
       subSeqFeatures() method, or the AcePerl/Das-style segments() or merged_segments() methods.

   OPTIONS
       In addition to the common options, this glyph recognizes the b<-stranded> argument.  If
       b<-stranded> is true and the feature is an alignment (has the target() method) then the
       glyph will draw little arrows in the segment boxes to indicate the direction of the
       alignment.

BUGS

       Please report them.
