Type

Description

Mandatory options

-i

--input

string

GFF file name

-re

--region_file

string

A BED file describing sequence regions to plot.

It allow to plot specific regions and not the whole seq.

Example of file content:

2L[TAB]100000[TAB]200000

2R[TAB]300000[TAB]450000

-o

--output_img_name

string

output image name

-ty

--type_to_draw

string

Type (column 3 of GFF) to draw, strand(s) to plot and colour scale to use

Type: Match, gene, CDS, etc.

Strand:

- - > strand – (1 Density Map (or DM))

+ − > strand + (1 DM)

both - > strand - and strand + (2 DM)

fused - > Combination of strand - and strand + (1 DM)

all - > strand - and strand + and fused (3 DM)

Format: “Type1 = Strand = colour_scale”

i.e.: “match = all = 7;gene = both = 4;CDS = fused = 10”

Generic options

-for

--force

none

Automatically answers yes to picture size validation

-v

--verbose

none

Activate verbose

-h

--help

none

Print help
