NAME

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::lightning - The "lightning" glyph

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws a lightning bolt of specified height with relative width, with the point of the lightning bolt centered on the feature. The height of the bolt is specified by the "height" option. Due to the complexity of this glyph, it doesn't resolve well with heights less than 11 pixels.

This glyph was designed to indicate point mutations on a nucleotide or protein backbone.
