Hi, Scott

Thanks for your reply first.

I still have question: I dig out the code from GBrowse (which I paste 
below). Method make_postgrid_callback gets all highlight region and then 
use hilite_regions_closure function to draw them out, using the 
following GD function:

$gd->filledRectangle($left+$start,0,$left+$end,$bottom,
                           $panel->translate_color($h_color));

where the $bottom=$panel->bottom. This is the only difference from my 
code, where I use $gd->height. I guess they are almost same (except the 
pad_bottom), we can see this in the code of 
http://doc.bioperl.org/releases/bioperl-current/bioperl-live/Bio/Graphics/Panel.html#CODE22

OK. Anyway, I change to use $panel->bottom, instead of $gd->height, for 
my highlight regions. The output is same, when using the library of 
Bioperl 1.6 (or 1.5). You can see the attached image ("test.bioperl1.6.png")

OK. I might have not explained my question explicitly. My question is: 
if using bioperl 1.2.3 (actually the Bio::Graphics in bioperl 1.2.3), I 
can get the right image I want (see the attached file 
"test.bioperl1.2.3.png"), where the highlight range will go from the 
roof to the floor. While in bioperl 1.5 (or 1.6), I only can see the 
highlight region in its own track, not the whole panel. OK, did I 
explain clearly now? you can see the difference of the two images.

[I am not sure the mailist allow to attach image, otherwise, I put them 
in the following links:
test.bioperl1.6.png:    http://translog.genereg.net/test.bioperl1.6.png
test.bioperl1.2.3.png:    
http://translog.genereg.net/test.bioperl1.2.3.png ]

You can test it and see the difference if you have both 1.2.3 and 1.6 on 
your computer?

Really want to know how this works in bioperl 1.2.3 (Even though this 
might be a bug at that version, or whatever)

Thanks
