Alrite, I am gonna givea quick explanations of my problem , i was hoping any of you could give me some advice on how to approach this, i am a beginning programmer (i.e. taken some classes (mainly programming in java), done some projects, but i mean its not my major!)
So this is a part of a bioinformatics project, designed to be put online, i am working on. Basically i am outputting long gene sequence (thousands of base pairs long, basically meaning thousands of letters long!). Now it is kinda meaningless to leave it in this form, so I am trying to make a graphical version of it with the important/distinct areas blocked off (something so that if you clicked on it, it could expand into the actual letter (nucleotide) sequence, like a pop-up window or something).
The rest of the project is being done in perl, so i wanted to do this in perl, but it is not a must. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions (the programming i have done was kinda absent of graphics). I was thinking of using one of those packages you can download offline which let you build shapes to a given specification, however i wasn't sure if that would limit me on the point and click aspect. But anyway, throw any experience you have at me! . . . links appreciated
