Hi Jigyasa3,
If you look in the examples folder the is a colours.txt
CSV file in the right format, which can be used with the --colour
flag.
It is essentially composed of two fields (name of the taxonomic group and HEX colour), separated by commas, i.e.:
Nematoda,#48a365
Tardigrada,#48a365
Actinobacteria,#926eb3
other,#ffffff
In order to use the automatically generated colours by blobtools you can consult the *.stats.txt file generated when making a blobplot. There the different taxonomic groups are listed together with metrics including the HEX colour they were assigned in the blobplot.
Hope that helps,
cheers,
dom
Hello
Is it possible to use the same key or color representation of blobs for different samples? When I run blobtools plot command it generates the gc-cov plot but assigns different colors to same taxonomically classified contig. For example, E.coli in one sample is represented by blue whereas in other sample by red. There is a --color option, but could you explain the file format for it?
