gff2ps - Produces PostScript graphical output from GFF-files.
gff2ps [options] -- gff_files
This program draws color-filled DotPlots from files with gff-formatted data fields. The program takes as input the annotated features on a genomic sequence in GFF format, and produces a visual output in PostScript.
There are three environmental variables that can be set by users to their pre ferences:
+ You can specify the path where GFF2PS can find the default files with the
shell variable "GFF2PS_CFDIR". Default value is path where you are
running GFF2PS.
+ You can also define the default custom filename you will like with the
variable "GFF2PS_CUSTOMFILE", program default filename for custom
file is ".gff2psrc".
+ GFF2PS needs to write few temporary files in a directory with permissions
for current user to read and write. Default temporary directory path is set
to "/tmp/" but you can assign a different temporary directory path
using the variable "GFF2PS_TMP".
Setting those vars in Bourne-shell (bash):
export GFF2PS_CFDIR="path"
export GFF2PS_CUSTOMFILE="file_name"
export GFF2PS_TMP="path"
Using a C-Shell (csh):
setenv GFF2PS_CFDIR "path"
setenv GFF2PS_CUSTOMFILE "file_name"
setenv GFF2PS_TMP "path"
