=head1 NAME

Bio::Graphics - Generate GD images of Bio::Seq objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # This script generates a PNG picture of a 10K region containing a
 # set of red features and a set of blue features. Call it like this:
 #         red_and_blue.pl > redblue.png
 # you can now view the picture with your favorite image application


 # This script parses a GenBank or EMBL file named on the command
 # line and produces a PNG rendering of it.  Call it like this:
 # render.pl my_file.embl | display -
