NAME

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::arrow - The "arrow" glyph

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws arrows. 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

  -parallel   Whether to draw the arrow   true
	      parallel to the sequence
	      or perpendicular to it.

  -northeast  Whether to draw the         true
	      north or east arrowhead
	      (depending on orientation)

  -southwest  Whether to draw the         true
	      south or west arrowhead
	      (depending on orientation)

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:

^              ^
|              |
