Re: [galaxy-dev] Integrating generated graphics from cli tool?
Alex, xvfb http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Xvfb.1.html works for our headless node R graphics and possibly other packages. I seem to remember writing a wiki entry but a search didn't find it... I see someone on the dev list found the toolfactory code which does a lot of sensible things automatically to create a pretty useful html index for a folder full of pdfs/pngs/xls/ On Mon, Dec 17, 2012 at 11:14 PM, Bossers, Alex alex.boss...@wur.nl wrote: Samual, We do the same as Peter mentioned.

[galaxy-dev] Integrating generated graphics from cli tool?
Hi, I'm looking into integrating some R scripts into Galaxy, which create some graphics / plots. We are interested in integrating those in galaxy somehow, or otherwise presenting them to the user in an as easy way as possible. I wanted to check if there is some support for this kind of functionality there already, or if I'll need to hack something together myself? (I couldn't really find anything here on the mailing list). Many TIA!
