Excellent, it works perfectly. For anyone else interested, you can actually change the default colors for specified features, such as CDS or whatever. You can even define colors for custom feature types, ie: colour_of_COGHIT = 7, for example.

Now if I could only define colours based on attributes of a feature other than its primary tag (for example, maybe based on score, or source). Maybe a plugin is in order.

Thanks again Tim,

Hi Andrew

For the MacOSX the options file (like the windows distribution) is wrapped in the artemis.jar file. You can unwrap this, edit the options file and create a new jar file.

Alternatively as you mention you can use the options flag or one of the other option locations described here: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Artemis/v8/manual/options- chapt.html#OPTIONS-INTRO

The format is identical.

Hey Tim, thanks for the reply. What about for the Mac OSX distribution, where the options file appears to be located within the application package itself (though within there I can't seem to find it)?

Can the -options argument passed at the command line still specify a set of options to override the default ones? If so, would the format of this new options file be similar to that found in the options file of, say, a unix distribution of Artemis?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew

The colours and the default colours for features are defined in the ‘etc/options’ file in the distribution.
 This gives you some more on this:

Some features are drawn in Artemis with a certain color, presumably determined by the primary_tag or other attribute, while other features can override the color drawn (or include one if none appears by default) by setting the color tag on the given feature.

Is there some table that determines the default colors associated with a given feature/attribute, and is this table accessible (either through the Artemis interface or through some configuration file) or is it more or less hard coded into the Artemis source code?


 Thanks!
