[EMBOSS] dotplots taking similarity into account

Dear Emboss list,

	Is there a way to get dotplots that take similarity according to a  
similarity matrix,
rather than strict  identity into account? As far as I can see, dottup  
is based on identity.
Is there a way that we can dotplots based on a similarity matrix  
similar to dotplot in GCG?
I know that it may be tiresome that I use GCG as a standard, but it is  
what I know and
it is serving as a point of departure while I am learning Emboss and  
redoing the GCG
portion of my course in Emboss. I am enjoying learning about the ways  
in which Emboss
offers improved functionality in the process as well.

Thanks and best wishes,
Rich

I am a Bayesian. When I see a multiple-choice question on a test and I  
don't
know the answer I say "eeney-meaney-miney-moe".
