=head1 NAME

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::toomany - The "too many to show" glyph

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This glyph is intended for features that are too dense to show
properly.  Mostly a placeholder, it currently shows a filled oval.  If
you choose a bump of 0, the ovals will overlap, to give a cloud
effect.

=head2 OPTIONS

There are no glyph-specific options.

=head1 BUGS

Please report them.
