NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws protein sequences. At high magnifications, this glyph will draw the actual amino acids of the sequence. At low magnifications, the glyph will plot the Kyte-Doolite hydropathy. By default, the KD plot will use a window size of 9 residues, but this can be changed by specifying the kd_window option.

For this glyph to work, the feature must return a protein sequence string in response to the seq() method.
