23 <title>Annotation Colouring</title>
28 <strong> Annotation Colouring </strong>
30 <p>Jalview allows the columns of an alignment to be coloured using
31 any numerical annotation rows added to that alignment.</p>
32 Select "Colour"
33 <strong>→</strong> ".. by Annotation" to bring up the
34 Colour by Annotation settings window.
38 <img src="annotationColourSetting.gif" width="471" height="256">
41 <li>Select which annotation to base the colouring scheme on using
42 the top left selection box.<br />If the <strong>Per-sequence
43 only</strong> tick box is not greyed out, then ticking it will limit the
44 available annotation rows to just those that are sequence associated
45 (e.g. T-COFFEE scores and <a
46 href="../webServices/proteinDisorder.html">protein disorder
47 predictions</a>), which will colour each sequence according to its own
48 per-residue scores.<br />
49 <em>Per-sequence associated annotation colouring was introduced
52 <li>If the "Use Original Colours" box is selected, the
53 colouring scheme will use the colouring scheme present on the
54 alignment before the Annotation Colour Settings window was displayed.
55 <br /> <em><strong>Please Note:</strong> If no colour scheme was
56 applied previously, then the colours for lines and labels at each
57 position in the annotation row will be used, for secondary structure
58 symbols and graphs, this may be black by default, so your alignment
59 will be coloured black.</em>
61 <li>The colour scheme can display a colour gradient from a colour
62 representing the minimum value in the selected annotation to a colour
63 representing the maximum value in the selected annotation. Use the
64 "Min Colour" and "Max Colour" to set the colour
67 <li>Press the "Defaults" button to reset the minimum
68 and maximum colours to their default settings (these are configured
69 in the applet's parameters or the <a
70 href="../features/preferences.html">application's user
71 preferences</a>.).<br />
72 <em>Default min and max colours were introduced in Jalview 2.7</em>
76 <li>Select whether to colour the alignment above or below an
77 adjustable threshold with the selection box center left of the
79 <li>Change the threshold value with the slider, or enter the
80 exact value in the text box.</li>
81 <li>Select the "Threshold is Min/Max" checkbox to
82 assign colours using the thresholded range's minimum and maximum
83 values, otherwise the scale will be defined by the range of values in
84 the annotation row.</li>
