Hi Lincoln,
Before you retire it, consider that people might be using it either
with GBrowse as a protein viewer (like SGD does, though I don't know
if they are using the protein glyph) or in some other application that
uses Bio::Graphics in an application outside of GBrowse for displaying
protein information. This protein glyph is actually pretty nice in
that, when zoomed out, it behaves like the dna glyph and displays a kd
plot, and zoomed in displays the residues.
