Bioperl: libgd and bioperl

[Andreas Matern]

As mentioned on SlashDot (http://slashdot.org) today, the gd library
(http://www.boutell.com/gd/) which creates GIFs on the fly and is required
by Lincoln's GD (http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/GD/GD.html) module
(which I use, in part, for Alessandro Guffanti's Paintblast
(http://hercules.tigem.it/Biomodules.html) module) has been withdrawn due to
copyright problems!

Thought you would like to know....... and maybe ask about graphics and
bioperl.  The software users I interact with always require graphical
displays to analyze data -- which is understandable, but makes my life a bit
difficult.  :-)

Has the bioperl community tackled many/any graphics issues?  i.e. graphical
display of chromosomes, BLAST results, contig information, chromatographs,
etc....
