[Gmod-help] List of possible parameters (options) for a Glyph in GBrowse

[Ram Podicheti]

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the immediate response. The very reason for me attempting
such a compilation is in order to provide a complete example set with
all the features illustrated for the GBrowse users. But if a GBrowse
Glyphs page proposal is already there on your queue, I will be more than
happy to contribute. I will let you know once I am done.
Thanks,

Ram
