[Bioperl-l] background layer is not supported in Bioperl 1.6 for Bio::Graphics::Glyph

[Scott Cain]

Hello Xianjun,

I don't think that approach will work.  What you almost certainly need
to do is a postgrid callback that does the drawing of the highlighted
region.  For example code of how to do this, take a look at the
make_postgrid_callback subroutine in GBrowse 1.69.  The option
-postgrid is a method of Bio::Graphics::Panel.
