NAME

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::ragged_ends - The "ragged ends" glyph

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This is identical to the "box" glyph except that it will draw the subparts of features that contain subfeatures. The subparts are not connected -- use the "segments" glyph for that. "Generic" is the default glyph used when not otherwise specified.

OPTIONS

This glyph provides two extra options to control whether the right and/or left ends of the drawn box are to be drawn "raggedly" with zigzags instead of vertical lines.

  Option        Values    Default
  -raggedleft    0 | 1       1
  -raggedright   0 | 1       1
  -zig           > 3         4
  -zag           > 3         4

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