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.
