-<p><strong>Sequence Feature Settings Dialog Box</strong></p>
-<p>Select <strong>View→Feature Settings...</strong> menu entry
-in an alignment window to open the feature settings dialog box, which
-allows you to precisely control the presence and appearance of sequence
-features for the current alignment.</p>

-<p>The top section of the dialog box lists all the sequence feature
-groups, along with a tickbox for each that controls whether its features
-are displayed. The table in the middle lists all the features in the
-currently selected groups, along with their display style and whether
-they are currently being displayed (only the ticked features and groups
-are displayed). <strong><em>You can change the colour or
-shading style used for a feature in the associated alignment by clicking
-on its colour box.</em></strong></p>
- <p>
- <a name="selectbyfeature"><strong><em>Selecting
- alignment columns by feature</em></strong></a><br> <strong>Double-clicking
- a feature type</strong> in the <strong>Feature
- Settings</strong> dialog allows you to select columns in the
- alignment that contain (or do not contain) features of that type. If a
- region of the alignment is currently selected, then only features in
- the current selection will be searched. The following keys affect the
- way in which selections are made:<ul>
- <li>Hold down <strong>Alt</strong> to select columns not
- containing features of a particular type.
- </li>
- <li>Hold down <strong>Shift</strong> to add columns to the
- current selection.
- </li>
- <li>Press <strong>Command/Windows key</strong> to toggle column
- selection state (XOR)
- </li>
- </ul>
- Options are also provided in the feature's pop-up menu (see below).
- <br />
- <em>Select columns by feature was added in Jalview 2.8.1</em>
- </p>
- <p><strong><em>Feature settings pop-up menu</em></strong><br>
-<strong>Right-click</strong> on a feature to open a pop-up menu that
-allows you to sort the alignment or current selection using that feature
-type (see below), or toggle the type of colouring used for the feature.
-Features may be highlighted with either a single colour or a <a
- href="featureschemes.html">feature colourscheme</a> based on either the
-scores associated with that feature or from the feature's description
-(e.g. to distinguish different names associated with a DOMAIN feature).</p>
-<p><strong>Ordering alignment by features</strong><br>
-The 'Seq Sort by Score' and 'Seq Sort by Density' buttons will sort the
-alignment based on the average score or total number of currently active
-features and groups on each sequence. To order the alignment using a
-specific feature type, use the <em>sort by ..</em> entries in the pop-up
-menu for that type.<br>
-<em>Feature sorting and graduated feature colouring was introduced
-in jalview 2.5</em></p>

-<p><strong>Transparency and Feature Ordering</strong></p>
-<p>It is important to realise that sequence features are often not
-distinct and often overlap (for example, a metal binding site feature
-may be attached to one position along a stretch of sequence marked with
-a secondary structure feature).</p>
-<p>The ordering of the sequence features in the dialog box list is
-the order used by jalview for rendering sequence features. A feature at
-the bottom of the list is rendered <em>below</em> a feature higher up in
-the list.<br>
-<em><strong>You can change the order of a feature by
-dragging it up and down the list with the mouse</strong></em>.</p>
-<p>The <strong><em>Optimise order</em></strong> button (currently
-only available in the application) will re-order the feature render
-ordering based on the average length of each feature type.</p>
-<p>The <strong><em>transparency slider setting</em></strong>
-(currently only available in the application version) controls the
-visibility of features rendered below other features. Reducing the
-transparency will mean that features at the top of the list can obscure
-features lower down, and increasing it allows the user to 'see through'
-the upper layers of a set of features.</p>
-<p><strong><em>You can save all features, with their
-current colours and visibility in a Jalview format file. </em></strong></p>
