If you have a nice example I'll be more than happy to post the code to biojava in
anger.
Thanks

Subject: Re: [Biojava-l] how to do multi-lined feature display
That helps alot, thanks! I think the trick that caught me is with the
FeatureFilter. I think this would make a great example for BioJava in
Anger.
I am able to get my features displayed on different "tracks" by specifying
contrived sources. I am even able to alter the display color of the
features based on the annotation (bitscore) by subclassing the
BasicFeatureRenderer (maybe there's a better way to do this). This makes
it look alot more "blast-like".
I am actually doing this to build images to display on a website. So, I
need to discover the pixel positions of the rendered features. By reading
through the API's, I see no way to do this. Is this even possible?
Thanks a bunch!

Using a MultiLineRenderer will allow you to have multiple tracks. You
may then put a different SequenceRenderer in each track.
Take a SequencePanel (easier to implement scrolling -simply place into
a ScrollPane) or TranslatedSequencepanel (must have scrolling
implemented manually by hooking a JScrollBar to change the sequence
position of the area to be viewed, but last benchmarked 7x faster than
SequencePanel).
Set the Panel's SequenceRenderer to be a MultiLineRenderer. You can
then add more SequenceRenderers to the multi, each with different
views of the Sequence and its complement of Features. Make these
renderers FilteringRenderers (which are SequenceRendererWrappers) to
get different views per track. Specify a FeatureFilter for each
FilteringRenderer to determine waht to show in each track. You can
combine multiple FeatureFilters via the filtering API.
You can also use BeadFeatureRenderer (a SequenceRenderer) to show any
number of different Feature types, each rendered distinctively, all on
the same track. It also allows you to have different types of Feature
at different Y-axis displacements in the same track.
Does this help at all?
