[Bioperl-l] Write segments with Bio::Tools::GFF

[Scott Cain]

Ah, I see.  Well, you should complain to the authors that
sequence-region isn't a required directive (though if you made that
complaint to me, I'd say "well, it is for this tool" :-)

Of course, you could also use Bio::Graphics or GBrowse to do the
drawing, then I could do more to help. :-)
