NAME
       Ace::Graphics::Glyph::segments - The "discontinuous segments" glyph

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

DESCRIPTION
       This glyph draws a sequence feature that consists of multiple discontinuous segments, such as the exons on a transcript or a gapped
       alignment.  The representation is a series of filled rectangles connected by line segments.

       The features passed to it must either respond to the Bio::SequenceFeatureI-style subSeqFeatures() method, or the AcePerl/Das-style
       segments() or merged_segments() methods.

   OPTIONS
       In addition to the common options, this glyph recognizes the b<-stranded> argument.  If b<-stranded> is true and the feature is an
       alignment (has the target() method) then the glyph will draw little arrows in the segment boxes to indicate the direction of the alignment.

BUGS
       Please report them.
