DESCRIPTION

       A module for generating SVG output of Pictogram display for consensus motifs.  This method
       of representation was describe by Burge and colleagues: (Burge, C.B.,Tuschl, T., Sharp,
       P.A. in The RNA world II, 525-560, CSHL press, 1999)

       This is a simple module that takes in an array of sequences (assuming equal lengths) and
       calculates relative base frequencies where the height of each letter reflects the
       frequency of each nucleotide at a given position. It can also plot the information content
       at each position scaled by the background frequencies of each nucleotide.

       It requires the SVG-2.26 or later module by Ronan Oger available at http://www.cpan.org

       Recommended viewing of the SVG is the plugin available at Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/svg
