Top level overview of plasmidcanvas' current features as of v1.0.0
- Directional arrows and rectangles to represent features of a plasmid.
- Support for restriction sites.
- Support for arbitrary labels.
- Support for overlapping features by automatically moving features inwards.
- Support for base pair "ticks".
- Two types of plasmid base pair tick labels:
- auto - The circle is automatically labelled using the most suitable tick intervals.
- n_labels - The circle is given n labels, evenly spaced around the plasmid circle.
- Two types of feature labels:
- off-circle - A label is placed outside the plasmid circle, pointing at the base pair / feature of interest.
- on-circle (curved text) - A label is placed on a feature and curves around the circle with the feature.
- Plasmids can be saved to a variety of filetypes e.g. png, pdf, ps, eps and svg.
