[Bioperl-l] Drawing sequences in the "other" direction

[michael watson (IAH-C)]

Hi Lincoln, List

Yeah, flip works great on the whole panel, but I have my top track which is a genome in the +1 direction, then I want to add another track which is a second genome, aligned to the first, but it runs in the -1 direction, I want to flip the second track but not the first...

Would running through all the features and re-jigging the co-ordinates of all the features work?  I was hoping to avoid it... though I guess somewhere buried in the guts of Bio::Graphics::Panel, this code must already be written...?

Hi Michael,

Have you tried passing -flip=>1 to Bio::Graphics::Panel->new()?
