[Bioperl-l] Bio::Graphics off by one?

[Lincoln Stein]

Hi Dave,

If you want to adjust the way that the arrow.pm module draws the ticks, please 
make it a user-configurable option with the default being the current method. 
It should be easy enough to do this -- you just offset the position of the 
labels by 0.5 interval and inhibit drawing of the last one.
