[Bioperl-l] pad individual tracks using panel

[Lincoln Stein]

This is a little late, but the simplest thing to do is to create two 
GD images and adjust the starting coordinates so that the features 
line up at the same place.  Then you can merge the two images into a 
single picture using the GD copy() call.
