Class Bio::Graphics::Feature
In: lib/bio/graphics/feature.rb
Parent: Object

The Bio::Graphics::Feature class describes features to be placed on the graph. See Bio::Graphics documentation for explanation of interplay between different classes.

The position of the Feature is a Bio::Locations object to make it possible to transparently work with simple and spliced features.

The Bio::Graphics::Feature class inherits from Bio::Feature.
