Still not clear to me. Do you have an example? Or can you draw something on paper?

It will be a lot of work to code something like that in MPL from scratch I suspect. Take a look at BioPython, which has some graphical tools.

If you just want to view a sequence and its translation, I would suggest using a proper browser like SnapGene, Artemis, Geneious, CLC, Jalview or any number of other alternatives.
