[Biojava-l] DNATools lower case?

[Shirley Hui]

Thanks George.  It looks like using alternate tokenization works if you are
"stringifying" a Sequence explicitly using the alphabet.getTokenization()
method.

But presumably this gets done within the DistributionLogo class or some
other class down the line and I don't want to modify any Biojava classes
unless I really have to.

The way I am constructing the DNA sequences is like this:

Sequences seq =DNATools.createDNASequence(sequence, name);

The list sequences is used to make a SimpleWeightMatrix wm.
Then the call to DistributionLogo is like this:

Distribution dist = wm.getColumn(columnNumber);
DistributionLogo dl = new DistributionLogo();
dl.setRenderingHints(hints);
dl.setOpaque(false);
dl.setDistribution(dist);
dl.setPreferredSize(new Dimension((int) columnWidth, (int) columnHeight));
dl.setLogoPainter(new TextLogoPainter());
dl.setStyle(symbolColorStyle);

There no way that I can tell right now in the DNATools API to make the
DNATools use the alternate string tokenization via the call to
createDNASequence()
or another type of set method?
