Option to remove the SNP base and coordinate text from image? #34

Closed mlo89 closed 7 months ago

mlo89 commented 8 months ago

Hi, This tool is very easy and works well on small alignments. Nevertheless, when visualising larger alignments the image becomes messy with the text of the bases in each tile as well as the coordinates on the top. Would it be possible to have an option to remove these elements? Thanks!

I found a quick not-clean solution: removing the blocks of text corresponding to the bases via opening the svg in vim. The bases are located in the block between the reference genome and the last genome of your list of sequences. Then just by highlighting all those blocks and deleting them, I obtain an image without the text for bases and coordinates.

Dear @mlo89,

I would like save it as pdf file, and edit in AI.

I've now added an option for --remove-site-text that only includes the labels on the bottom and left hand side. Available on the main branch and will include in the next release!
