Karyoscape without DAS? #14

Closed pfh closed 10 years ago

pfh commented 13 years ago

Feature request (or there might be a way to do this that I missed): I'd like to be able to specify information for the karyoscape without a DAS server.

The karyoscape seems to be the only essential part of the browser that relies on DAS. It would be very nice to be able to serve a Dalliance browser entirely from Apache.

By the way, I have to say I am enormously impressed by this project, especially the handling of binary formats in javascript.

There's actually one other issue right now -- Dalliance is rather unhappy if it can't fetch the set of sequence names/lengths via a DAS entry_points command (although recent versions should be at least marginally usable if this fails). We hope to get both of these resolved in time for the 0.7 release, at which point -- as you say -- we can offer a useful browser backed entirely by static files.

(Cleaning up pre-0.8 issues)

All the issues with operating Dalliance without any DAS servers have been resolved for a while (most of the examples at http://www.biodalliance.org don't use DAS).

Karyotype widget is still missing at the moment, for progress see dasmoth/dalliance#54
