Function

   Draws circular maps of DNA constructs

Description

   The program 'cirdna' draws circular maps of DNA constructs.

   It uses the graphical shapes: ticks, ranges, and blocks to represent
   genetic markers (e.g, genes and ESTs) and places them according to
   their position in a DNA fragment. The markers can be organized in
   different groups. A group may contain up to 10000 markers, so the
   program can be used to draw circular representations of genomic
   sequences.

   The program reads in one input file in which the user specifies the
   names and positions of the genetic markers. In this file the user also
   enters data for controlling the appearance of the markers.

   A refined customization of the drawing can be achieved by running the
   program with '-options' on the command line and changing the values of
   the desired parameters.

Input file format

   Blank lines in the input file are ignored.

   The file is organized in several fields separated by one or more space
   or TAB characters.

   The first non-blank line gives the start position of the DNA fragment
   to be drawn after the keyword 'Start'. The end position is on the
   second line following the keyword 'End'.

   Then, one or more groups (up to a maximum of 20) of genetic markers
   are defined. Each group begins with a line consisting of the keyword
   'group' and ends with a line consisting of the keyword 'endgroup'.

   If desired, a group name can be given on the very next line but will
   not be displayed (only for compatibilty with lindna).

   Next, the individual markers (up to a maximum of 1000) of the group
   are described. Each marker begins with a line consisting of the
   keyword 'label' and ends with a line consisting of the keyword
   'endlabel'.

   Do not start a new marker (by using a 'label' line) before you have
   closed the previous marker (by using an 'endlabel' line). You must end
   a previous marker specification before starting a new one. i.e. do not
   overlap marker specifications in the input file.

   For each marker, the line following the 'label' line describes the
   marker. Three types of markers can be drawn: ticks, blocks, and
   ranges.

   For a tick, the descriptive line begins with the keyword 'Tick',
   followed by the position of the tick in the DNA fragment, and a number
   from 0 to 15 specifying the color in which the tick will be drawn (a
   list of available colors is given below). If desired, a name can be
   written above the tick. This name must be given on the next line. If
   more than one name are given (one name per line), only the first one
   will be displayed.

   For a block, the descriptive line begins with the keyword 'Block',
   followed by the start and end positions of the block in the DNA
   fragment, and the number of the block's color. If desired, a name can
   be written above or inside the block. This name must be given on the
   next line. If more than one name are given (one name per line), only
   the first one will be displayed.

   For a range, the descriptive line begins with the keyword 'Range',
   followed by the start and end positions of the range in the DNA
   fragment. Next on the line are the types of boundaries that are to be
   drawn. The user can choose among '>', '<', '[', ']' and '|' for both
   start and end boundaries. If none of these types is wanted for a given
   boundary, then a point '.' must be entered. Next is the color number.
   If desired, a name can be written above the range. This name must be
   given on the next line. If more than one name are given (one name per
   line), only the first one will be displayed.

   For any type of markers, names will be written in the same color as
   the marker. Also, try to avoid long names.

   The colors defined in the PLPLOT graphics library are:

   0 "BLACK", 1 "RED", 2 "YELLOW", 3 "GREEN", 4 "AQUAMARINE", 5 "PINK", 6
   "WHEAT", 7 "GREY", 8 "BROWN", 9 "BLUE", 10 "BLUEVIOLET", 11 "CYAN", 12
   "TURQUOISE", 13 "MAGENTA", 14 "SALMON", and 15 "WHITE".

   This format can also be used for the program "lindna".
