on GitHub

Enhancements:

• A new parameter for pyGenomeTracks allow to fix the width of the central part: --plotWidth

• For scale bars, you can now define the position using 2 parameters among x_center, size, scalebar_start_position and scalebar_end_position.

Python dependency with conda:

• Using conda which is the way we recommand installation it is now possible to use Python 3.8.

Relax version control on matplotlib:

• Any version of matplotlib from 3.1.1 to 3.3.2 is now accepted.

Bugfixes:

• When the --fontSize parameter was used it happened that the colorbar labels were not corresponding to the colorbar ticks. This bug has been fixed (#297).

• The colormap pink was not working because it was both the name of a color and a colormap. This bug has been fixed (#295).

• When setting min_value, max_value, if the track was empty these values were ignored. This bug has been fixed.

• When using operation in bedgraph with a second_file, BEDTools is now used to intersect the second file. use_middle is now taken into account on the second file.

• Different handling of string evaluation of color, colormap and operation.
