.. _tools: Tools ================================== Tool Tabs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. raw:: html
Select the icon to jump to the relevant section. Graph Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. note:: Under active development. .. figure:: ../_images/ui/tools_information.svg :alt: tools: information :align: left :width: 300px Display for graph information. When a node is selected, information about that node will be displayed here. Icons for each node type: .. raw:: html
Segment
Corresponds to S line in GFA.
Bubble
A bubble containing one or more segments.
.. note:: Debugging information will be displayed here if the instance was started in debug mode. Path Selector ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: ../_images/ui/tools_path.svg :alt: tools: path selector :align: left :width: 300px Tools for viewing paths. Select a sample to view the paths that are contained in the subgraph currently being viewed. "Show All Paths" will highlight links touched by any path in that sample. Selecting a specific graph can enable animation of it. You can play through the steps of the path using the controls below. .. raw:: html
Play
Start playback of the path animation.
Previous
Go back to the previous step.
Next
Advance to the next step.
Pause
Pause the animation at the current step.
Reset
Restart the animation from the beginning.
Gene Annotations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: ../_images/ui/tools_annotation.svg :alt: tools: annotations :align: left :width: 300px Adjusting annotations. Each annotation has three options: - Toggle visibility (by clicking on gene name) - Draw exons only (by clicking on the icon) - Change color (by clicking on the color swatch) .. raw:: html
Draw exons
When enabled, exons will be drawn on the graph instead of full genes.
Search ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. note:: More options will be added here over time. .. figure:: ../_images/ui/tools_search.svg :alt: tools: annotations :align: left :width: 300px Search features. Currently this section only supports searching for nodes by ID. Clicking on a search result will center the canvas view on that node. Settings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: ../_images/ui/tools_settings.svg :alt: tools: settings :align: left :width: 300px Adjust forces and rendering settings. .. raw:: html
Charge
Controls the repulsive force applied to nodes.
Charge Distance
Sets the maximum distance over which nodes exert charge force.
Node Collision
Prevents nodes from overlapping by applying collision force.
Collision Radius
The radius around a node that determines a collision.
Link Size
Shrinks or grows target link length.
Friction
Dampens node motion, slowing down layout movement.
Layout Impulse
Applies a force that drives nodes to their initial layout positions.

Node Width
Adjusts the thickness of node rendering.
Font Size
Changes the annotation label font sizes.
Options ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. note:: More options will be added here over time. .. figure:: ../_images/ui/tools_options.svg :alt: tools: options :align: left :width: 300px Miscellaneous options. .. raw:: html
Anchor on drag
Fixes a node to a dragged position when enabled.
Smooth GC colors
Smooths out color in GC style by averaging GC content over a node and its neighbors.
