  I would like to create a simple plot of a given human gene containing the main features, e.g. exons, introns, ORFs, transcripts etc. I understand that `gviz` is a popular choice for this kind of thing, but most tutorials are massive overkill for what I want to do (I don't need fancy features such as importing BAM files and plotting coverage).

  If Python is an option, you could check [BioPython and GenomDiagram](http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html#sec336). This should get the job done.

  I assume you are trying to make something like a "gene arrow map" and `[gggenes][1]` can help you (with some little tweaks) in case you are familiar with `ggplot2`.
