Good morning Bjorn,
The way I understand Galaxy is worksteps involve a tool using History inputs and creates History output files.   I view the results from the tool one click's on the eyeball to see the output file content.
In following this same flow, I was trying to have my datatype display my heatmap when the user clicks on the eyeball after creating the history output file from the HM creation tool.
Similar to how one can display an image file or csv by clicking on the eyeball.
Thanks again,
bob

Good morning and thanks Bjorn,
One question  on your statement ...This does not work with the eyeball, but with the visualization button
associated to every dataset.  How is this invoked so the dataset is displayed if not by the eyeball?
Let me digest this info and hopefully I can take it from here.
cheers,
bob

Hi Bob,
you could write a special visualisation for your specific datatype. This
does not work with the eyeball, but with the visualisation button
associated to every dataset.
For a few visualisation examples please see the following links:
*
https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/tree/dev/config/plugins/visualizations
* https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/tree/master/visualisations
* https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/VisualizationsRegistry/Cookbook
Hope this gets you started!
