Hi Scott

Yes it is template driven, so there is no -f option. You can manually create
a template or export a template out from a DNAPlotter session. Example
templates can be found in the online manual page:

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/dnaplotter/#t_3

The template then restores the track information that gets saved to the
template.

Regards
Tim
