attribute

optional

Description

name

Required

The name of the file on your file system or a URL. The URL can point to any file, anywhere, provided it's accessible via the internet.

title

Optional

User-friendly text IGB will show in the Data Access Panel as the title of the data set. If you don't provide a title, IGB will display the name attribute instead.

description

Optional

IGB will display this text as a tooltip when users hover the mouse over the data set title in the Data Access tab.

url

Optional

Use this tag to specify the location of a Web page describing the data set. If provided, IGB will display an "info" icon next to the data set title. When users click the icon, their Web browser will open showing the contents of the URL you provide. This attribute can be specified as either an absolute url, or a relative path from the root directory of your Quickload server

load_hint

Optional

If used, its value should be "Whole Sequence". Using this tag will force IGB to load the entire file when users select the genome version, which is usually appropriate only for reference gene model annotations or other equally small data sets.

label_field

Optional

Use this field to indicate the annotation property (e.g., "score" or "id") that should be used in IGB to label individual annotations. For gene models, "id" is best.

background

Optional

Use this field to define track background color. Note you must use six-digit, hexadecimal triplets to specify color, but do not include a leading "#" character. For example, to specify white background, use background="FFFFFF".

foreground

Optional

Use this field to define annotation or graph colors (e.g. foreground="00FFFF"). See above.

max_depth

Optional

Use this field to define the default max depth value, the number of annotations that can be shown individually in a stack (max_depth="10" or max_depth="0" for unlimited)

name_size

Optional

Use this field to define the default track label name font size (e.g. name_size="12")

connected

Optional

Use this field to define the default boolean value for the connected field  (e.g. connected="true" or connected="false"). The default is "true". This tells IGB to draw lines linking the blocks belonging to larger features.

show2tracks

Optional

Use this field to define the default boolean value for the show2Tracks field  (e.g. show2tracks="true" or show2tracks="false"). If you would like minus and plus strand features to be displayed in the same track, set this to "false." The default is "true."

direction_type

Optional

Use this field to dictate whether annotations or alignments will be shown using arrows and/or color to indicate direction.  (e.g. direction_type="arrow", direction_type="color", direction_type="both", direction_type="none"). The default is "none."

positive_strand_color

Optional

Use this field to define the default positive strand color (e.g. positive_strand_color="CCFFFF") for when the direction_type setting is "color."

negative_strand_color

Optional

Use this field to define the default negative strand color (e.g. negative_strand_color="33FFFF") for when the directon_type setting is "color."
