Gene cluster visualization

I have NRPS gene clusters isolated from running various bacterial genomes through antiSMASH. I need to generate a visualization of the gene clusters with color-coded annotation of their constituent genes as in the image in the link below. I have already gone through the methods in several papers but I was unable to find a description of how the image was generated. I have also tried various online gene cluster visualization programs, but they do not seem to fit my purpose. Could someone please point me to a program/package that would take gene clusters to generate an image similar to the one in the link below?

Adobe Illustrator, or any vector-based drawing tools, could do it. Just fit the pixels/arrow sizes to the gene scale in bp.

I have made an R package called geneviewer that is designed for drawing gene arrow maps like the example below. Have a look at the package website and github

Please add a Tool type post announcing your tool instead of posting answers to old threads. This is spammer-like behavior.
