NAME

Bio::Tools::Alignment::Overview - just another represetation for biological sequence alignment.

DESCRIPTION

This module creates a simple and resumed representation of a biological sequence alignment. For now you can ajust the sequence color, with time new customizations will be implemented. If you find any problem please let me know.

BASIC USAGE

instantiate the overview object.

        use warnings;
        use strict;
        use Bio::Tools::Alignment::Overview();

        my $view = Bio::Tools::Alignment::Overview->new();

and pass the required parameters.

        $view->input('path_to_my_align_file');
        $view->outup('path_to_my_output_file'); # no extension is required.
        $view->color('color_name'); # 'red'

create the image.

        $view->make_image();

Methods

For the moment the only customization available is the color for the sequences.

INPUT.
        $object->input();

The module is compatible with alignments generated by other programs like ClustalW, MUSCLE and T-COFEE.

OUTPUT.
        $object->output();

No extension is required for the output file, the module generates automatically a .png file.

COLOR.
        $object->color();

The module depends on GD::Simple for making the images files so the available colors are listed in GD::Simple. The default color is blue.

MAKE_IMAGE.
        $object->make_image();

This is the method responsible for generating the image file with png extension.
