Perfect alignment of gene island

[mweberr]

Hallo , first of all this is a absolutely wonderful visualisation tool for gene maps. I want to draw gene maps with differing composition of genes due to mutations and frame shifts. This means that in each line different genes are missing. Still, I want the maps to be aligned according to overlapping genes.

Here all lines are aligned to genE, like in the example, but not line 1. Which should aligned to protD. How it would be possible to extend this alignment feature ?

I'm afraid there's currently no good way to do this with gggenes and make_alignment_dummies(). Ultimately I think the solution will be to build in some kind of auto-alignment feature that attempts to find the optimal alignment across all the molecules. I've played around with implementing this feature but haven't yet found an algorithm that works in a reasonable amount of time.
