💖 NAME 💖

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::transcript — the "gene" glyph, bestie. Yes, the actual man page you're holding is Ace::G...script(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, but the star of the show is this glyph. She's giving gene. 🧬✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

okay so real talk, this one doesn't have its own cute little call snippet — it just points you at the big siblings. go read those first, iykyk. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This glyph draws a whole series of filled rectangles connected by up-angled connectors, aka "hats". the rectangles are your exons, and the hats are your introns. the way it just… does that? iconic. 🎀

The direction of transcription gets shown off with a small arrow at the end of the glyph — pointing rightward for the + strand. main character directional energy. 👑

Heads up bestie: the feature must respond to the exons() method, and optionally the introns() method — if it doesn't, it defaults to the generic display. no exons, no glamour. 💀

Implied introns — the ones not returned by the introns() method — get drawn in a contrasting color compared to explicit introns. so everybody knows who showed up and who ghosted. 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

So in addition to all the common options (those live in the parent glyphs, mwah), this glyph recognizes its very own special little options. periodt:

  • -implied_intron_color — the color to use for gaps that the introns() method did not return. default: gray. it's giving subtle. 🌫️
  • -draw_arrow — whether to draw that arrowhead showing the direction of transcription. default: true. leave it on, she ate. 🔥

😭 BUGS 😭

Please report them. that's it, that's the whole section. if you found a bug — spill, report it. don't just sit there. 💖
