IMP: Save plots from qiime diversity alpha-rarefaction #291

Open angrybee opened 4 years ago

angrybee commented 4 years ago

Improvement Description Save the shown plots e.g. from qiime diversity alpha-rarefaction additional as SVG/PNG/whatever as it is possible in qiime taxa barplot

Current Behavior One can download CSV data only and build the plots in R or somewhere else or screenshot the plots manual

Comment In my case me and my partners are not allowed to use online tools like https://view.qiime2.org/ to view the qzv and some are challenged by unpacking qzv/zip-files and use/click the html-file to view.

Why not?

I agree though, this would be a really useful improvement to this visualization?

Why not?

Confidentiality policy :/

thermokarst commented 4 years ago

https://view.qiime2.org actually doesn't send any data out to a server - it all runs locally on your computer - we never see any data (there are no uploads). You actually don't even need to be on the internet to use https://view.qiime2.org. This allows https://view.qiime2.org to be compatible with many/most/all?() confidentiality policies, since no data leaves your computer.

QIIME 2 View (or q2view for short) is an entirely client-side interface for viewing QIIME 2 artifacts and visualizations (.qza/.qzv files respectively). This means that you do not need to have a working QIIME 2 installation to inspect QIIME 2 results. It also means that the files you provide are not sent beyond your browser. In other words, this entire site functions without a server (which makes it very inexpensive to operate).
