24 <strong>Alignment Window Format Menu</strong>
27 <li><strong>Font...</strong><br> <em>Opens the
28 "Choose Font" dialog box, in order to change the font of
29 the display and enable or disable 'smooth fonts' (anti-aliasing)
30 for faster alignment rendering. </em></em></li>
32 </strong><em>When ticked, the alignment display is "<a
33 href="../features/wrap.html">wrapped</a>" to the width
34 of the alignment window. This is useful if your alignment has only
35 a few sequences to view its full width at once.<br>
36 Additional options for display of sequence numbering and scales
37 are also visible in wrapped layout mode:
40 <li><strong>Scale Left</strong><br> <em>Show the
41 sequence position for the first aligned residue in each row in
42 the left column of the alignment.</em></li>
43 <li><strong>Scale Right</strong><br> <em>Show the
44 sequence position for the last aligned residue in each row in
45 the right-most column of the alignment.</em></li>
46 <li><strong>Scale Above</strong><br> <em>Show the
47 alignment column position scale.</em></li>
49 <li><strong>Show Sequence Limits<br>
50 </strong><em>If this box is selected the sequence name will have the start
51 and end position of the sequence appended to the name, in the
52 format NAME/START-END</em></li>
53 <li><strong>Right Align Sequence ID<br>
54 </strong> <em>If this box is selected then the sequence names displayed in
55 the sequence label area will be aligned against the left-hand edge
56 of the alignment display, rather than the left-hand edge of the
57 alignment window.</em></li>
58 <li><strong>Show Hidden Markers<br>
59 </strong><em>When this box is selected, positions in the alignment where
60 rows and columns are hidden will be marked by blue arrows.</em></li>
61 <li><strong>Boxes</strong><em><br> If this is selected
62 the background of a residue will be coloured using the selected
63 background colour. Useful if used in conjunction with "Colour
64 Text." </em></li>
66 </strong><em>If this is selected the residues will be displayed using the
67 standard 1 character amino acid alphabet.</em></li>
68 <li><strong>Colour Text<br>
69 </strong><em>If this is selected the residues will be coloured according
70 to the background colour associated with that residue. The colour
71 is slightly darker than background so the amino acid symbol
72 remains visible. </em></li>
73 <li><strong>Show Gaps<br>
74 </strong><em>When this is selected, gap characters will be displayed as
75 "." or "-". If unselected, then gap characters
76 will appear as blank spaces. <br> You may set the default gap
77 character in <a href="../features/preferences.html">preferences</a>.
79 <li><strong>Centre Column Labels<br>
80 </strong><em>When this is selected, the text labels within each annotation
81 row will be centred on the column that they are associated with. </em></li>
82 <li><strong>Show Unconserved<br>
83 </strong><em>When this is selected, all consensus sequence symbols will be
84 rendered as a '.', highlighting mutations in highly conserved
85 alignments. </em></li>
