Hi...

There's code in BioJava (since release 1.1) for drawing
`logo' representations of BioJava's Distribution objects,
in the package org.biojava.bio.gui, which I think should
do what you want (Note: you actually need to pass in a
probability distribution -- the information content gets
calculated for you).

If you download the BioJava source distribution (or check
a copy out from CVS), there's a small example program which
shows how these are used.  See demos/dist/TestDistribution.java

Let me know if you have any trouble with this,
