[Bioperl-l] Can I get different Graphics::Panel colours fordifferent HSP frames within the same blast hit?

[Aaron J. Mackey]

Ahh, right, my apologies.  I had run into the all_callbacks solution to 
a slightly different problem: wanting to provide different 
labels/hyperlinks for each segment.  I was thinking that bgcolor 
attributes would be similar with segment.pm, but you're right, 
graded_segment.pm already hijacks the bgcolor calculation.
