NAME

       Bio::Graphics::Glyph::whiskerplot - The whiskerplot glyph

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This glyph is used for drawing features associated with numeric data using "box and
       whisker" style data points, which display the mean value, extreme ranges and first and
       third quartiles (or standard deviation). The boxes drawn by this glyph are similar to
       <http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310116.NSF/0/3c35ac1e828c23ef4a2567ac0020ec8a?OpenDocument>,
       except that they are oriented vertically so that the position and height of the box
       indicates the mean value and spread of the data, and the width indicates the genomic
       extent of the value.

       Like the xyplot glyph (from which it inherits the whiskerplot is designed to work on a
       single feature group that contains subfeatures.  It is the subfeatures that carry the
       score information. The best way to arrange for this is to create an aggregator for the
       feature.  We'll take as an example a histogram of repeat density in which interval are
       spaced every megabase and the score indicates the number of repeats in the interval; we'll
       assume that the database has been loaded in in such a way that each interval is a distinct
       feature with the method name "density" and the source name "repeat".  Furthermore, all the
       repeat features are grouped together into a single group (the name of the group is
       irrelevant).  If you are using Bio::DB::GFF and Bio::Graphics directly, the sequence of
       events would look like this:

         my $agg = Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator->new(-method    => 'repeat_density',
                                                 -sub_parts => 'density:repeat');
         my $db  = Bio::DB::GFF->new(-dsn=>'my_database',
                                     -aggregators => $agg);
         my $segment  = $db->segment('Chr1');
         my @features = $segment->features('repeat_density');

         my $panel = Bio::Graphics::Panel->new;
         $panel->add_track(\@features,
                           -glyph => 'xyplot',
                           -scale => 'both',
       );

       If you are using Generic Genome Browser, you will add this to the configuration file:

         aggregators = repeat_density{density:repeat}
                       clone alignment etc

       Note that it is a good idea to add some padding to the left and right of the panel;
       otherwise the scale will be partially cut off by the edge of the image.

       The mean (or median) of the data will be taken from the feature score. The range and
       quartile data must either be provided in a feature tag named "range", or must be generated
       dynamically by a -range callback option passed to add_track. The data returned by the tag
       or option should be an array reference containing the following five fields:

        [$median,$range_low,$range_high,$quartile_low,$quartile_high]

       where $range_low and $range_high correspond to the low and high value of the "whiskers"
       and $quartile_low and $quartile_high correspond to the low and high value of the "box."

       If $median is undef or missing, then the score field of the feature will be used instead.
       It may be useful to repeat the median in the score field in any case, in order to allow
       the minimum and maximum range calculations of the graph itself to occur.

       See Examples for three ways of generating an image.

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

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

         -fgcolor      Foreground color               black

         -outlinecolor Synonym for -fgcolor

         -bgcolor      Background color               turquoise

         -fillcolor    Synonym for -bgcolor

         -linewidth    Line width                     1

         -height       Height of glyph                10

         -font         Glyph font                     gdSmallFont

         -label        Whether to draw a label        0 (false)

         -description  Whether to draw a description  0 (false)

         -hilite       Highlight color                undef (no color)

       In addition, the alignment glyph recognizes all the options of the xyplot glyph, as well
       as the following glyph-specific option:

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

         -range        Callback to return median,    none - data comes from feature "range" tag
                       range and quartiles for each
                       sub feature

EXAMPLES

       Here are three examples of how to use this glyph.

   Example 1: Incorporating the numeric data in each subfeature
        #!/usr/bin/perl
        use strict;

        use Bio::Graphics;
        use Bio::SeqFeature::Generic;

        my $bsg = 'Bio::SeqFeature::Generic';

        my $feature = $bsg->new(-start=>0,-end=>1000);

        for (my $i=0;$i<1000;$i+=20) {
          my $y = (($i-500)/10)**2;
          my $range = make_range($y);
          my $part = $bsg->new(-start=>$i,-end=>$i+16,
                              -score=>$y,-tag => { range=>$range });
          $feature->add_SeqFeature($part);
        }

        my $panel = Bio::Graphics::Panel->new(-length=>1000,-width=>800,-key_style=>'between',
                                             -pad_left=>40,-pad_right=>40);
        $panel->add_track($feature,
                         -glyph=>'arrow',
                         -double=>1,
                         -tick=>2);

        $panel->add_track($feature,
                         -glyph=>'whiskerplot',
                         -scale=>'both',
                         -height=>200,
                         -min_score => -500,
                         -key  =>'Whiskers',
                         -bgcolor => 'orange',
                        );
        print $panel->png;

        sub make_range {
          my $score        = shift;
          my $range_top    = $score + 5*sqrt($score) + rand(50);
          my $range_bottom = $score - 5*sqrt($score) - rand(50);
          my $quartile_top    = $score + 2*sqrt($score) + rand(50);
          my $quartile_bottom = $score - 2*sqrt($score) - rand(50);
          return [$score,$range_bottom,$range_top,$quartile_bottom,$quartile_top];
        }

   Example 2: Generating the range data with a callback
        #!/usr/bin/perl
        use strict;

        use Bio::Graphics;
        use Bio::SeqFeature::Generic;

        my $feature = $bsg->new(-start=>0,-end=>1000);

        for (my $i=0;$i<1000;$i+=20) {
          my $y = (($i-500)/10)**2;
          my $part = $bsg->new(-start=>$i,-end=>$i+16,-score=>$y);
          $feature->add_SeqFeature($part);
        }

        my $panel = Bio::Graphics::Panel->new(-length=>1000,-width=>800,-key_style=>'between',
                                             -pad_left=>40,-pad_right=>40);
        $panel->add_track($feature,
                         -glyph=>'arrow',
                         -double=>1,
                         -tick=>2);

        $panel->add_track($feature,
                         -glyph=>'whiskerplot',
                         -scale=>'both',
                         -height=>200,
                         -min_score => -500,
                         -key  =>'Whiskers',
                         -bgcolor => 'orange',
                         -range => \&make_range,
                        );
        print $panel->png;

        sub make_range {
          my $feature = shift;
          my $score        = $feature->score;
          my $range_top    = $score + 5*sqrt($score) + rand(50);
          my $range_bottom = $score - 5*sqrt($score) - rand(50);
          my $quartile_top    = $score + 2*sqrt($score) + rand(50);
          my $quartile_bottom = $score - 2*sqrt($score) - rand(50);
          return [$score,$range_bottom,$range_top,$quartile_bottom,$quartile_top];
        }
