[Bioperl-l] Drawing Chromosomes

[Lincoln Stein]

There is an idiogram glyph in the library that comes with Generic Genome 
Browser.  It is used to draw human chromosomes for the hapmap project 
(www.hapmap.org)  You might be able to modify it in order to color-code the 
cytogenetic bands.  Currently the information on coloring comes out of the 
feature tags.
