pLOT v1.0.5a is out!  This update:

  • Fixes a bug that caused enzymes to not be shown after a gel is displayed.
  • Linear plots now show labels written vertically and spaced correctly as opposed to the previous, uglier horizontal texts.  See image below!
  • Since some annotated sequences are short relative to the whole sequence and thus don't take up much space on the map, clicking on them can be difficult at times.  Additionally, annotations behind others cannot be clicked on either.  To fix this, labels for annotations are now clickable and bring up the same options/menus/etc... as if you had clicked on the feature itself on the map.  Many thanks to my fellow labmate "NL" for this suggestion.
Known Bugs & future fixes:
  • There is still a FloodFill bug where most of the map will get colored if you view a linear sequence where an arrow graphic spans the origin.
  • I'm not thrilled with the spacing of labels in the circular map and will be implementing a change soon to make the spacing more even.
  • Editing base pairs through the edit menu can result in shifts in the sequence without shifting the bp at which annotations begin.  This will be fixed shortly but it is recommended that you do not use this feature to add or subtract base pairs from the sequence, simply to change existing ones.  Use the "Insert/Delete Sequence" from the Edit-> Sequence menu.

As always, feel free to like the pLOT Facebook Page for up-to-date information on new releases, to report bugs, or to suggest new features.
