Plotting tools - best output format? PDF, PNG, ...
by Peter Cock 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi all, I'm working on a simple plotting tool, and currently I am using PDF output since this is vector based (so it can be rescaled without loss of quality) and can be edited easily enough for use in publications. However, at least on my OS/Browser, Galaxy does not show the PDF files in situ, the "eye" button acts like a download link. Is this a bug? If I switch to making a PNG file, then clicking on the "eye" button shows the image directly in the center panel (nice), but PNG is not a great format for detailed figures or printing. Looking over the tools which come with Galaxy under tools/plotting/*.xml all use PDF or PNG. How about SVG? Don't most of the mainline browsers have reasonably good SVG support built in (possibly via a plugin)? Peter

Re: [galaxy-dev] Execution of workflows using API

Taka, Great, I'm glad the workflow api is now working for you. I'm not sure what you mean with regards to work I'm doing for decrypting hda to actual id, but I will say that a History/Dataset API is something many people have asked about and I imagine that it will get done sooner rather than later, though I can't specify an exact timeframe. -Dannon On Apr 20, 2011, at 11:29 AM, t.yamaguchi(a)utoronto.ca wrote: > Hello Dannon, > > Thanks for the quick response. > I emailed you as it seems to take some time to get authorization to reply to posts. > > I went though example_watch_folder.py and found the answer to resolve my problem.

by Peter Cock 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hi Kanwei, I noticed that the BLAST+ output options for HTML are not working, a side effect of my recent refactoring. Could you transplant/merge this fix and test please: https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/changeset/e1e6f92e07bf https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/changeset/c60551f7d13c These are the only commits on this new branch from the default: https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/blast_2011_04_19 Thanks, Peter

No Menu after submitting workflow
by Dave Walton 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

I'm getting inconsistent behavior when I run a workflow. I have one workflow,that when I run it, the green box indicating my workflow has been submitted shows up in the middle panel with Tools to the left, histories to the right, and menu above. For another workflow, I submit it successfully, but the green box ends up on a page with nothing but the green box. No tools, no history, no menus. Both of these are being done using the same browser session (running firefox on a mac). Thanks, Dave

DRMAA_python installation problem

Dear Galaxy Team, I just updated my local instance of galaxy, and now I have a problem with the "DRMAA_python" egg, which makes it impossible to run jobs on our SGE cluster.

Execution of workflows using API
by Takafumi Yamaguchi 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hello, I have a question regarding execution of workflows using API (workflow_execute.py). I am writing a script to automate file uploading and workflow execution using API. I was able to upload files and the response gave me ids for each file with 32 characters although the README example returned 16 characters. (I used library_upload_from_import_dir.py) Then I tried to execute a workflow using workflow_execute.py but it does not seem that the script accepts the ids. Is there any ways to resolve this issue? Thank you, Taka

Setting min/max limit on <repeat> tag in tool XML file
by Peter Cock 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hi all, I'm working on a tool where the <repeat> tag looks like an elegant solution - however I want to limit the number of repeats to be 1, 2 or 3. i.e. I want to set min="1" and max="3" attributes for the <repeat>, based on analogy to the <param> tag. Is this possible, but not documented here? https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/ToolConfigSyntax In terms of the GUI, I'd like the page to preload with as many entries as the min setting (zero by default), and disable the add button once the max setting is reach (default no limit). (Alternatively you could validate the max/min when the form is submitted by clicking the execute button, but that seems less user friendly.) If this isn't already possible, would it be generally useful to add this? Thanks, Peter

To be clear, you were able to connect to the galaxy server using WinSCP in plain FTP mode, and had no errors uploading the files? -Dannon On Apr 19, 2011, at 9:37 AM, vasu punj wrote: > Dannon, > > I used winSCP to upload the files but dont see in Galaxy in history of uploaded files or even with URL? > > Any suggestion please. > > Thanks
