Minidot doing a self alignment and --no-self not working? #7

Hello! Thanks for the great tool. I was trying to align one fasta against another, but it seems like it is doing a self alignment despite adding the --no-self option or the -S option

I basically just have something like

bin/minidot -S -o output.pdf A.fa B.fa

Any tips?

I guess to be clear, the thing that I was seeing is that minimap was running on "minimap /tmp/output.fa /tmp/output.fa" and crashing. I guess from the code it looks more like --no-self is an argument to the rendering script. Is the self alignment needed to create a dotplot of just two genomes?

You are absolutely right, something is going wrong there. I will try to have a look at it and fix it, but it might take a while - I'm currently quite busy...
