Re: [galaxy-dev] using data_ref to refer to column names?
So, sounds like maybe this feature does not existI'd like to request it (given a dataset, I'd like to be able to show the column headers of that dataset in a select box). Thanks, Dan On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 11:09 AM, Dan Tenenbaum dtene...@fhcrc.org wrote: Hi, I have some code that makes a plot and creates a legend from a given column name in the user's input data, which may have arbitrary column names.
