Hi,

I'm wondering whether someone can help me on how to show a description in 
Bio::Graphics on left, or right side of the Glyph, instead of below.  I'm 
using following code:

my $track = $panel->add_track(-glyph       => 'graded_segments',
                              -label       => 1,
                              -connector   => 'dashed',
                              -bgcolor     => 'blue',
                              -font2color  => 'red',
                              -sort_order  => 'high_score',
                              -description => sub {
                                 my $feature = shift;
                                 return unless 
$feature->has_tag('description');
                                 my ($description) = 
$feature->each_tag_value('description');
                                 my $score = $feature->score;
                                 "$description, score=$score";
                               });
However, the description is by default always below the glyph.  As UCSC 
genome browser has demonstrated, it can be put on side.  But I couldn't 
find the right option.

Your time and help is greatly appreciated!
