Re: [Artemis-users] launching DnaPlotter with a sequence file
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.

Re: [Artemis-users] launching DnaPlotter with a sequence file
Hi Scott No there is no way to do that other than editing an exiting template. Users tend to open the sequence file from the interface and export the template. If you wanted to get this running with a sequence file you could use a wrapper script to take a copy of a dummy template and makes the changes, something like this (with the attached template): #!/bin/sh seq=$1 DIR=`dirname $seq` FILE=`basename $seq` echo opening $DIR/$FILE sed s|SEQDIR|$DIR| /Users/tjc/Desktop/example1.template ./tmp sed s|SEQFILE|$FILE| ./tmp ./new.template rm -f ./tmp java -jar dnaplotter.jar -t ./new.template Tim On 2/21/11 2:54 PM, Scott Markel scott.mar...@accelrys.com wrote: Tim, Thank you for confirming that sequence files can't be read directly.

Tim, Thank you for confirming that sequence files can't be read directly. Is there a common or frequently-used way of creating a template from a sequence file *without* launching DnaPlotter?
