NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This glyph acts like graded_segments but the bgcolor of each segment (sub-feature) can be individually set using the source field of the feature.

Each segment type color is specified using the following nomenclature:

-{source}_color => $color

For example, if the feature consists of a gene containing both confirmed and unconfirmed exons, you can make the confirmed exons green and the unconfirmed ones red this way:

-confirmed_color   => 'green',
-unconfirmed_color => 'red'
