💖 ktImportXML(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a User Commands girlie, and her whole name is ktImportXML. she's here to explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts ✨ (yes, ZOOMABLE. pie charts. we ate.)

🌸 NAME 🌸

ktImportXML — explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts 🥧🔍

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically she creates a Krona chart from xml data — and that xml data is describing each node and how the chart should look. two jobs, one icon 👑

ktImportXML [options] <XML_file>

XML_file — this is the file containing XML tags that specify chart attributes and describe the node hierarchy. lowkey important: an XML header is not necessary. fr fr, you can skip it. and if you want the complete description of XML tags, the wiki is right here, go get your education bestie 📚:

https://sourceforge.net/p/krona/wiki/KronaTools/

✨ the options (yes there's only two, we keep it cute) ✨

• [-o <string>] — Output file name. the default is 'xml.krona.html' 🎀 so if you don't say anything, that's the name she's picking.
• [-u <string>] — URL of Krona resources to use instead of bundling them with the chart (e.g. "http://krona.sourceforge.net"). this one reduces size of charts and allows updates — slay, smaller files, live glow-ups 💅 — though charts will not work without access to this URL. so like, gorgeous but high-maintenance, she needs the wifi 😭

⚠️ real talk: that -u trade-off is real. tiny chart, always-online energy. no access to the URL = no chart. not me warning you twice but here we are 🫶

that's the whole page bestie, she's short and she's perfect 🌈

this was ktImportXML 2.8, from June 2021, living her best life under KTIMPORTXML(1) 💜 thanks for reading, mwah 😘
