Download of animated longitudinal information of reference samples

[schuroff]

Hi @JelenaBanjac,

When I run the Microbiome Trajectory analyses, it is generated the animated longitudinal information of reference samples and I can only download this one in a .SVG format. How can I download the animation in a video or gif format?

Another question... Can I only work with my data on a web page?

Thank you.

Hi @schuroff,

From what I could find, currently, there is no support for exporting video of Plotly plots, see here. What I can suggest is to record your screen and save that recording as video or gif.

Sorry, I am not sure I understood the second question. On the web page, you should be able to choose from 3 datasets: 2 datasets are predefined (mice and human datasets), and the third one is your data (data you upload in drag and drop section). I am not sure this answers it?

On the other hand, if the question was whether you can only work with the microbiome toolbox on the web, the answer is not only on the web. You can create your own local Python scripts/notebooks, import microbiome toolbox, and play with your data using toolbox methods. Example notebooks for mice and human data can be seen here.

Hi @schuroff ,

Regarding the animated longitudinal information generated by the Microbiome Trajectory analyses, you can convert the .SVG format to a video or GIF format using external tools. There are various online converters available that can help you with this conversion. Simply search for "SVG to video converter" or "SVG to GIF converter" in your preferred search engine, and you'll find several options to choose from.

As for your second question, MicrobiomeStat is a versatile R package that allows you to work with your data directly within the R environment. You don't necessarily need a web page to use it. You can perform various microbiome analyses and generate visualizations within your R environment.

Here's where you can find MicrobiomeStat for your analysis: MicrobiomeStat on GitHub

Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance. Happy analyzing!

Best regards,

Hi @JelenaBanjac Thanks a lot for the help. I have another question: is it possible to export the microbiome maturation value generated for each sample from the web tool?

Hi @schuroff

You're welcome!

Currently, there is no feature to export the MMI values generated for each sample from the web tool. However, it's a great suggestion, and it would be a valuable addition to the tool. I will consider implementing it in future updates to make the tool even more useful for its users. At the moment, I don’t have the support and time for the development efforts required to make this valuable addition to the web tool. In the meantime, I recommend exporting MMI values using the package directly (e.g. in the notebooks).
