.SH NAME
Ace::Graphics::Glyph::segments \- The "discontinuous segments" glyph
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&  See L<Ace::Graphics::Panel> and L<Ace::Graphics::Glyph>.
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This glyph draws a sequence feature that consists of multiple
discontinuous segments, such as the exons on a transcript or a gapped
alignment.  The representation is a series of filled rectangles
connected by line segments.
.PP
The features passed to it must either respond to the
Bio::SequenceFeatureI\-style \fBsubSeqFeatures()\fR method, or the
AcePerl/Das\-style \fBsegments()\fR or \fBmerged_segments()\fR methods.
.SS OPTIONS
.IX Subsection "OPTIONS"
In addition to the common options, this glyph recognizes the
b<\-stranded> argument.  If b<\-stranded> is true and the feature is an
alignment (has the \fBtarget()\fR method) then the glyph will draw little
arrows in the segment boxes to indicate the direction of the
alignment.
