config file: limit features by source; set feature label

Reported by Alexie Papanicolaou | 2010-09-28 05:44:07 UTC

Hello

I have 2 small questions. I have this in my config file

  "track": "protein_match",
  "key": "BLAST",
  "feature": ["protein_match:TEST"],
    "subfeatures": true,
  "class": "transcript",
    "subfeature_classes": {
    "match_part": "est"
  },
}

a) Is there any way to have a custom label for a feature (either defined or e.g {name} ?)
b) I'm perplexed on why my feature line doesn't limit protein_match to TEST (attached screenshot). It matters not what I put after the colon: the track looks the same (all protein_match features appear). Am I missing smth?

oh, I guess looking at the screenshot you might see that the Track label obscures the feature label (feature starts at 1 of the reference)...

many thanks
alexie

Hello

I've troubleshooted this and it was a stupid mistake from my end (+ some Drupalesque nonsense of escaping -> arrows)

For posterity: To troubleshoot I used this function:

'extraData'=>array('test'=>'sub {shift->some Bio::SeqFeatureI::method();}') and the urlTemplate to print out the {test}

Would it be possible to somehow change the feature label (description)? That would help a bit with troubleshooting (wouldn't have to hover :-) )

thank you (pls feel free to close the ticket)

You can create a custom feature label with the "label" setting in the config file. It should be a perl sub; it gets the bioperl object as its first argument, and it should return a string. For example, here's one config file entry that creates a custom label:
```
{
  "track": "ExampleFeatures",
  "key": "Example Features",
  "feature": ["remark"],
  "autocomplete": "all",
  "class": "feature2",
  "label": "sub { $_[0]->source . \" - \" . $_[0]->display_name }"
},
```
