[Bioperl-l] addition of GD::graphic object to Bio::Graphics

[Smithies, Russell]

I thought it was a bit of a hack but I guess if someone else is doing it
too, it can't be all bad  :-)

It looks like you can combine your drawing methods like this:
(I'm sure Lincoln will tell us this is bad but it seems to work ok)

#!perl -w
use GD::Graph::lines;
use GD::Graph::colour;
use GD::Graph::Data;

use Bio::Graphics;
use Bio::SeqFeature::Generic;

# create and draw on a graphics panel
my $panel = Bio::Graphics::Panel->new(
                                      -length => 500,
                                      -width  => 500
                                     );
my $track = $panel->add_track(
                              -glyph => 'generic',
                              -label => 1
                             );

# create and add a few features
for($i = 100; $i < 500; $i+= 100){
  my $feature = Bio::SeqFeature::Generic->new(
                                              -display_name => "feature:
$i",
                                              -score        => $i,
                                              -start        => $i,
                                              -end          => $i + 100
                                             );
  $track->add_feature($feature);
}


# create and draw the graph
my @data = (
    ["1st","2nd","3rd","4th","5th","6th","7th", "8th", "9th"],
    [    1,    2,    5,    6,    3,  1.5,    1,     3,     4],
    [ sort { $a <=> $b } (1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 1.5, 1, 3, 4) ]
);
my $graph = GD::Graph::lines->new(500, 300);

$graph->set(
      x_label           => 'X Label',
      y_label           => 'Y label',
      title             => 'Some simple graph',
      y_max_value       => 8,
      y_tick_number     => 8,
      y_label_skip      => 2
) or die $graph->error;

$graph->set( dclrs => [ qw( green blue black red pink) ] );

my $gd = $graph->plot(\@data) or die $graph->error;

# combine the two images
my $combined = $panel->gd($gd);

open(IMG, '>file.png') or die $!;
binmode IMG;
print IMG $combined->png;
