You could try if(!inGapState && (seq[i].symbolAt(j) == gap || seq[i].symbolAt(j) == AlphabetManager.getGapSymbol()))

I want to add gaps to DNA sequences that are loaded in from file that contain gaps and remove the gaps. I just load the sequences into an instance of type Sequence. Here is snippet , private void finalizeAddGapEdit(){ SimpleGappedSymbolList list = new SimpleGappedSymbolList(node.getSequence()); try { list.addGapsInSource(startX+1,counter); Sequence newSequence = DNATools.createDNASequence(list.seqString(),node.getSequence().getName()); node.setSequence(newSequence); gvc.repaint(); } catch (IllegalSymbolException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } My code to draw out the gapped symbols looks like this public void paint(Graphics g) { double leftX; Symbol gap; double scale_factor; boolean inGapState; max = 0; for(int i=0;i<seq.length;i++){ gap = seq[i].getAlphabet().getGapSymbol(); leftX = 0; scale_factor = (double) getWidth()/seq[i].length(); inGapState = true; for(int j=1;j<=seq[i].length();j++){ if(!inGapState && seq[i].symbolAt(j) == gap){ g.drawLine((int) (leftX*scale_factor), i*pixels_bw_lines, (int) ((j-1)*scale_factor) , i*pixels_bw_lines); inGapState = true; } else if(inGapState && seq[i].symbolAt(j) != gap){ leftX = j-1; inGapState = false; } } //draw the last line g.drawLine((int) (leftX*scale_factor), i*pixels_bw_lines, (int) (seq[i].length()*scale_factor) , i*pixels_bw_lines); if(seq[i].length() > max) max = seq[i].length(); } } My sequences load from file and display correctly , but when I add gaps they don't show up. I am confused because I believe that the gap symbols used in the underlying sequences are the same. The gaps are added and I know this from printing out the string of the sequence. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or have any suggestions on a better approach? -dc _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
