Re^3: Can you offer me some tips on this module?

Hello Anonymous Monk,

Hello and many thanks for your trouble!

You are welcome, I think it would be easier for you to follow your threads if you where a registered member of the community.

Moving on, about the code:

Yes, first of all I should have written that one must download the module in order for the code to run... Other than that I didn't experience any problems, probably because I wrote the script quite plain (no stricts etc...).

It is not about mentioning that in order to execute the code you need to download the module, it is about the module does not exist in CPAN. Based on your example you use: use DrawTransmembrane;, which when I use it says to me that it dose not exist. The module that exists on CPAN is Bio::Graphics::DrawTransmembrane. So my question was how your code compiles, when you use use DrawTransmembrane; and not use Bio::Graphics::DrawTransmembrane;, at least on my OS it complains that the module dose not exist.

Moving on, about the answer to your question. Based on what I read on the Bio::Graphics::DrawTransmembrane there is no option to do that for you. So in this case you can try to contact the Author (Tim Nugent) or you can try alternative solutions such as Bio::Graphics::Glyph::pairplot which provide you the option -angle => 45. But as I said I have never used this modules before, so I am not an expert to give you a straight answer on that.

I final note, I would modify the title of your current question and future questions to something more relevant. What I mean, most people in the forum here need to enter your question to see on which module you are referring to and what kind of tips you are looking for. Now imagine people who are using Google that might have the same question as you, how is it possible for them to find your question and possible an answer? Do not think so, or at least the possibilities are extremely small. So I would recommend to change the title something like (Bio::Graphics::DrawTransmembrane angle modification) or something that you feel closer to your question.

Well I think I wrote too much, so I will stop somewhere here. I hope this new module is closer to what you are looking for.
