# SYNOPSIS

     # Get a renderer somehow, called $renderer

     # create a new panel and render contents a feature collection onto it
     my $config = new ConfigIO( $config_file )->getConfig();
     my $features = $data_provider->getCollection();
     my ( $tracks_rendered, $panel ) = $renderer->render( $features, $prefs );

# DESCRIPTION

Renderer of Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionIs (collections of features) onto a Bio::Graphics::Panel using a Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI for general and track-specific rendering options.

                   $renderer->render( $collection, $configurator [, $panel ] );
     Function: Renders the SeqFeatures in the given collection onto a
               Bio::Graphics::Panel (if no panel is given, one will be
               created), using the given Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI for general
               and track-specific rendering options.
     Returns : In a scalar context returns the number of tracks rendered.
               In a list context, returns a two-element list containing
               the number of features rendered and the panel.
     Args    : A Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionI and a Bio::Graphics::ConfiguratorI
               and optionally a Bio::Graphics::Panel.
     Status  : Public
