<strong>Importing and exporting annotation</strong><br />
groups of annotation rows can be shown or hidden using the pop-up
menu obtained by right-clicking the label. You can also reorder them
by dragging the label to a new position with the left mouse button.
- The
- <strong>Annotations</strong> menu provides settings controlling the
- ordering and display of sequence, group and alignment associated
- annotation. The
- <strong>Colour by annotation</strong> option in the colour menu
- allows annotation to be used to

- <a href="../features/columnFilterByAnnotation.html">select or

<em>Current Limitations</em>

<p>
- The Jalview user interface does not support interactive
- creation and editing of quantitative annotation (histograms and line
- graphs), or to create annotation associated with a specific
- sequence or group. It is also incapable of annotation grouping or changing
- the style of existing annotation (e.g. to change between line or bar
- charts, or to make multiple line graphs). These annotation
- capabilities are only possible by the import of an <a
