# NAME

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::protein - The "protein" glyph

Back to Top

# SYNOPSIS

      See L<Bio::Graphics::Panel> and L<Bio::Graphics::Glyph>.

Back to Top

# DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws protein sequences. At high magnifications, this glyph will draw the actual amino acids of the sequence. At low magnifications, the glyph will plot the Kyte-Doolite hydropathy. By default, the KD plot will use a window size of 9 residues, but this can be changed by specifying the kd_window option.

The feature may return either a protein sequence or a DNA sequence in response to the `seq()` method. However, if it returns a DNA sequence, then the feature must also return the correct phase and strand in order for the glyph to translate its open reading frame correctly!

## OPTIONS

The following options are standard among all Glyphs. See the Bio::Graphics::Glyph manpage for a full explanation.

      Option      Description                      Default

      -do_kd      Whether to draw the Kyte-  true
                  Doolittle hydropathy plot
                  at low mags

      -kd_window  Size of the sliding window  9
                  to use in the KD hydropathy
                  calculation.

      -axis_color Color of the vertical axes  fgcolor
                  in the KD hydropathy plot

      -phase_style  The way phase is to be
                    interpreted. One of            "012"
                    "012" or "021"
