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

This is identical to the "graded_segments" glyph, and is used for drawing features that consist of discontinuous segments. The color intensity of each segment is proportionate to the score.

In addition, the alignment glyph recognizes the following glyph-specific options:

Option      Description                  Default
------      -----------                  -------

-max_score  Maximum value of the	   Calculated
            feature's "score" attribute

-min_score  Minimum value of the         Calculated
            feature's "score" attribute

If max_score and min_score are not specified, then the glyph will calculate the local maximum and minimum scores at run time.
