Loading Binary Data w/ 7pre2 #23

Closed greenexile4568 closed 10 years ago

greenexile4568 commented 12 years ago

Been trying to use the 7pre2 release to take advantage of the color formatting. For very small datasets it works fine but for larger data it appears dalliance is trying to slurp in the whole file into memory. It fails to render and usually have to kill the browser. Seems worse w/ Chrome.

Anyone experience the same prob ? have work around ?

Thanks B

Binary data should always be loaded "on demand" (the one exception to this is the index portion of BAM-formatted data -- but that's not usually too big).

   1. Do you have any indication that the problem is due to loading excessive data (rather than, for example, the rendering code getting clogged up -- which might happen if it's forced to render basepair-resolution data in a zoomed-out view).

   2. Do you have an example file you can share that demonstrates this problem?

Closing because I've heard no further reports of this?
