GView is designed as a Java tool that can be used to display and navigate through bacterial genomes.
GView is useful for producing high-quality genome maps for use in publications and websites, or as a visualization tool in a sequence annotation pipeline.
Users can interact with the genome using a powerful pan-and-zoom interface, or GView can write static images of a genome to a file.
GView can draw a genome using either circular or linear layouts, with additional layout types planned for future release.
Here are some key features of "GView":
· Intuitive pan-and-zoom interface
· Linear or Circular genome backbone layouts
· Static images exported in png, jpg or svg format
· Customizable styles to modify the appearance
· Backwards compatible with CGView XML or Tab delimited formats
· API for integrating GView with Java applications
Requirements:
· Java
