=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a utility module for pretty-printing the type of alignment
that comes out of gbrowse, namely a multiple alignment in which each
target is aligned to a reference genome without explicit pads or
other spaces.

For speed and ease of use, the module does not use form Bio::SeqI
objects, but raw strings and alignment data structures.  This may
change.

This module does B<not> perform multiple alignments!  It merely
pretty-prints them!

=head2 METHODS

This section describes the methods used by this class.

=over 4

=item $aligner = Bio::Graphics::Browser2::PadAlignment->new(\@sequences,\@alignments)

Create a new aligner.  The two arguments are \@sequences, an array ref
to the list of sequences to be aligned, and \@alignments, an array ref
describing how the sequences are to be aligned.

\@sequences should have the following structure:

  [ name1 => $sequence1,
    name2 => $sequence2,
    name3 => $sequence3 ]

The sequences will be displayed in top to bottom order in the order
provided.  The first sequence in the list is special because it is the
reference sequence.  All alignments are relative to it.

\@alignments should have the following structure:

 [ [ target1, $start1, $end1, $tstart1, $tend1 ],
   [ target1, $start2, $end2, $tstart2, $tend2 ],
   ...
  ]

Each element of @alignments is an arrayref with five elements.  The
first element is the name of the target sequence, which must be one of
the named sequences given in @sequences.  The second and third
elements are the start and stop position of the aligned target segment
relative to the reference sequence, "name1" in the example given
above.  The fourth and fifth elements are the start and stop position
of the aligned target segment in the coordinate space of the target.

Example:

  @dnas = ('dna1' => 'ccccccaaaaaatttt',
	   'dna2' => 'aaaaaa');
  @alignment = ( ['dna2', 6, 11, 0, 5 ]);

Positions 0 to 5 of "dna2" align to positions 6-11 of "dna1".

Note that sequence positions are zero based.  This may change.

=item @lines = $aligner->padded_sequences

This inserts pads into the sequences and returns them as a list of
strings in the order specified in new().  In a scalar context, this
method will return a hashref in which the keys are the sequence names
and the values are their padded strings.

=item $map = $aligner->gap_map

This returns an arrayref indicating the position of each base in the
gapped reference sequence.  The indexes are base positions, and the
element values are their positions in the reference sequence as
returned by padded_sequences().

Note that the gap map only provides coordinate mapping for the
reference sequence.  For an alternative implementation that provides
gap maps for each of the targets (at the cost of speed and memory
efficiency) see the section after __END__ in the source file for this
module.

=item $align_string = $aligner->alignment(\%origins [,\%options])

This method returns a pretty-printed string of the aligned sequences.
You may provide a hashref of sequence origins in order to control the
numbers printed next to each line of the alignment.  The keys of the
%origins hashref are the names of the sequences, and the values are
the coordinate to be assigned to the first base of the sequence.  Use
a negative number if you wish to indicate that the sequence has been
reverse complemented (the negative number should indicate the
coordinate of the first base in the provided sequence).

An optional second argument, if present, contains a hash reference to
a set of option=>value pairs.  Three options are recognized:

   show_mismatches      0|1      if true, highlight mismatches in pink
   show_matches		0|1	 if true, hightligt matches in yellow
   color_code_proteins  0|1      if true, highlight amino acids thus:
                                        Acidic amino acids in red
                                        Basic amino acids in blue
                                        Hydrophobic amino acids in grey
                                        Polar amino acids in yellow
   flip                 0|1      if true, reverse complement the whole alignment
