Hello dear monks,

I am new to bioperl and seek your assistance, as I have spent the lat hour reading heavy documentatiion and could not find examples that will help me start off.

I wish to create a plot where the X axis will be some genome (I will give Genbank file, I want genes to be displayed below the X axis), and the Y axis will represent some score. I have generated files containing for evey position in the genbank a numeric score, and I want to plot these data.

from what I can tell, this sounds like a work for Bio::Graphics::Glyph::xyplot, but I could not find a descent start point, for example how to get from a Genbank file + a file containing a numeric value fo each nucleotide in the genbank to a plot.

There are so many structures and sub-structures I could not find my hands... So, how do I get started? I guess it should not be so complicated.

Thank you !
