About plugins
Plugins are a crucial component of CGViz's architecture, which let application programmers create new elements for visualizations.
There are currently three types of plugins:
- Drawer plugins are responsible for displaying individual items of data. By providing a new drawer, users can achieve essentially any drawing style they like.
- Transformer plugins can be used to filter and manipulate data in any conceivable way. Transformer plugins can also be used to import data from files, as for example tabular BLAST output.
- Pane shape plugins are responsible for defining the way a rectangular coordinate array in which data is displayed (called a "pane" in CGViz jargon) is mapped to the screen. Current non-standard pane shapes are circular (suitable for procaryotic genomes) and multi-row.
