✨ KTIMPORTTEXT ✨

okay bestie, so ktImportText is the little icon that explores hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts 🥧✨ like it's literally a chart-maker and it's serving. (that's the manual-page name folded in, you're welcome 💅)

🌸 NAME 🌸

ktImportText — explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Creates a Krona chart</> from text files listing quantities and lineages. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

Here's the shape of it:

ktImportText \

[options] \ text_1[,name_1] \ [text_2[,name_2]] \ ...

🍓 the arguments 🍓

• text — a tab-delimited text file. Every line should be a number followed by a list of wedges to contribute to, starting from the highest level. If no wedges are listed and it's just a quantity, it contributes to the top level. If the same lineage shows up more than once, the values get added together (yes, they stack, slay). Quantities can be omitted entirely if -q is specified. Lines beginning with # are ignored. By default, separate datasets get created for each input — see -c if you wanna change that.
• name — a name to show in the list of datasets in the Krona chart (this only matters if there are multiple input files present and -c is not specified). By default, the basename of the file gets used. cute.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o <string> — output file name. [Default: 'text.krona.html']
• -n <string> — name of the highest level. [Default: 'all']
• -q — files do not have a field for quantity. bye bye quantity column 👋
• -c — combine data from each file, rather than creating separate datasets within the chart. one big chart, one big family 🫶
• -u <string> — URL of Krona resources to use instead of bundling them with the chart (e.g. "http://krona.sourceforge.net"). This reduces the size of charts and allows updates, though charts will not work without access to this URL. so like, it's giving ✨lightweight✨ but also it's giving 💀 needs the internet 💀. your call, bestie.

fr fr, that -u one is the risky queen. smaller charts, but no URL = no chart. don't say I didn't warn you 🙈

that's the whole thing, babes — go make some iconic pie charts and remember: the wedges add up, the # lines don't count, and the default output is literally 'text.krona.html' ⭐
