✨ NAME ✨

ktImportGalaxy β€” explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay bestie so this one creates a Krona chart based on Galaxy taxonomic representations. that's the whole vibe. you feed it Galaxy tax stuff, it hands you back a gorgeous zoomable pie chart situation. iconic behavior fr fr πŸ₯§βœ¨

here's the shape of the thing:

ktImportGalaxy \
       [options] \
       tax_rep_1[,name_1] \
       [tax_rep_2[,name_2]] \
       ...

πŸ¦‹ the arguments

  • tax_rep β€” these are the results from the "Fetch taxonomic representation" or "Find lowest diagnostic rank" tools in Galaxy. and listen: by default, separate datasets will be created for each input (peep -c if that's not what you want).
  • name β€” a name to show in the list of datasets in the Krona chart (only matters if multiple input files are present and -c is not specified). default? the basename of the file. classic.

πŸ’… the options

  • -o <string> β€” output file name. [Default: 'galaxy.krona.html'] yes, it just goes ahead and names it for you if you don't say anything.
  • -n <string> β€” name of the highest level. [Default: 'root'] that's the top of your tree, the main character of the hierarchy πŸ‘‘
  • -c β€” combine data from each file, rather than creating separate datasets within the chart. one big slay instead of many little ones.
  • -d <integer> β€” maximum depth of wedges to include in the chart. so you can stop the nesting at whatever level you want, no cap.
  • -u <string> β€” URL of Krona resources to use instead of bundling them with the chart (e.g. "http://krona.sourceforge.net"). this reduces size of charts and allows updates, though β€” and this part is important β€” charts will not work without access to this URL. so like. trade-off. πŸ™ˆ
  • -qp <string> β€” url to send query IDs to (instead of listing them) for each wedge. the query IDs will be sent as a comma separated list in the POST variable "queries", with the current dataset index (from 0) in the POST variable "dataset". and the url can include additional variables encoded via GET. she's flexible like that πŸ’«

ngl the -u thing is the one to think about twice β€” smaller charts and updateable charts are cute until the URL isn't reachable and your chart just. doesn't. work. 😭

that's the whole page bestie, go make some zoomable pies πŸ₯§πŸ’–
