[Biojava-l] SequencePanel, TranslatedSequencePanel, SequencePoster

[Matthew Pocock]

Hi,

I don't know if this ever got resolved, but you can simulate a 
SequencePoster by adding multiple SequencePanel or 
TranslatedSequencePanel instances to a Panel - grid layout, 1 x Lines - 
and add event handler code to scroll them all in sync with one another. 
This is realy how the poster should have been implemented to start with.
