Bio::Graphics::Glyph::UserrContributed PerBio::Graphics::Glyph::ruler_arrow(3)NAMEBio::Graphics::Glyph::ruler_arrow - glyph for drawing an arrow as ruler
(5' and 3' are marked as label)
SYNOPSIS
See L<Bio::Graphics::Panel> and L<Bio::Graphics::Glyph>.
DESCRIPTION
This glyph draws arrows. Label, if requested, will be 5' and 3' at
both ends and tick scale is printed if no_tick_label option is set and
tick option set. Depending on options, the arrows can be labeled, be
oriented vertically or horizontally, or can contain major and minor
ticks suitable for use as a scale.
OPTIONS
In addition to the common options, the following glyph-specific options
are recognized:
Option Description Default
------------------------
-tick Whether to draw major 0
and minor ticks.
0 = no ticks
1 = major ticks
2 = minor ticks
-label 5' at start, 3' at end 0
above arrow
-both 5', 3' above, 0
and 3', 5' below arrow
-direction 0 = ruler is plus strand 0
-1 = ruler is minus strand
-parallel Whether to draw the arrow true
parallel to the sequence
or perpendicular to it.
-northeast Force a north or east true
arrowhead(depending
on orientation)
-east synonym of above
-southwest Force a south or west true
arrowhead(depending
on orientation)
-west synonym of above
-double force-doubleheaded arrow
-base Draw a vertical base at the false
non-arrowhead side
-scale Reset the labels on the arrow false
to reflect an externally
established scale.
Set -parallel to false to display a point-like feature such as a
polymorphism, or to indicate an important location. If the feature
start == end, then the glyph will draw a single arrow at the designated
location:
^
|
Otherwise, there will be two arrows at the start and end:
^ ^
| |
Scale: Pass in a externally established scale to reset the labels on
the arrow. This is particularly useful for manually constructed images
where the founding parameters of the panel are not 1-based. For
example, a genetic map interval ranging from 0.1 - 0.3 can be
constructed by first multiplying every value by 100. Passing
arrow(-scale=>100);
will draw tick marks labelled appropriately to your external scale.
