NAME

       Bio::Graphics::Glyph::pairplot - The "pairwise plot" glyph

SYNOPSIS

        use Bio::Graphics;

        # create the panel, etc.  See Bio::Graphics::Panel
        # for the synopsis

        # Create one big feature using the PairFeature
        # glyph (see end of synopsis for an implementation)
        my $block = PairFeature->new(-start=>  2001,
                                     -end  => 10000);

        # It will contain a series of subfeatures.
        my $start = 2001;
        while ($start < 10000) {
          my $end = $start+120;
          $block->add_SeqFeature($bsg->new(-start=>$start,
                                           -end  =>$end
                                          ),'EXPAND');
          $start += 200;
        }

        $panel->add_track($block,
                          -glyph => 'pairplot',
                          -angle => 45,
                          -bgcolor => 'red',
                          -point => 1,
                         );

        print $panel->png;

        package PairFeature;
        use base 'Bio::SeqFeature::Generic';

        sub pair_score {
          my $self = shift;
          my ($sf1,$sf2) = @_;
          # simple distance function
          my $dist  = $sf2->end    - $sf1->start;
          my $total = $self->end   - $self->start;
          return sprintf('%2.2f',1-$dist/$total);
        }

DESCRIPTION

       This glyph draws a "triangle plot" similar to the ones used to show linkage disequilibrium
       between a series of genetic markers.  It is basically a dotplot drawn at a 45 degree
       angle, with each diamond-shaped region colored with an intensity proportional to an
       arbitrary scoring value relating one feature to another (typically a D' value in LD
       studies).

       This glyph requires more preparation than other glyphs.  First, you must create a subclass
       of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic (or Bio::Graphics::Feature, if you prefer) that has a
       pair_score() method.  The pair_score() method will take two features and return a numeric
       value between 0.0 and 1.0, where higher values mean more intense.

       You should then create a feature of this new type and use add_SeqFeature() to add to it
       all the genomic features that you wish to compare.

       Then add this feature to a track using the pairplot glyph.  When the glyph renders the
       feature, it will interrogate the pair_score() method for each pair of subfeatures.

   OPTIONS
       In addition to the common options, the following glyph-specific options are recognized:

         Option      Description                  Default
         ------      -----------                  -------

         -point      If true, the plot will be         0
                     drawn relative to the
                     midpoint between each adjacent
                     subfeature.  This is appropriate
                     for point-like subfeatures, such
                     as SNPs.

         -angle      Angle to draw the plot.  Values   45
                     between 1 degree and 89 degrees
                     are valid.  Higher angles give
                     a more vertical plot.

         -bgcolor    The color of the plot.            cyan
