bioInfograph

bioInfograph assembles high-resolution multi-panel scientific figures from Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and other image formats for presentation and publication of complex biological data.


Key Features:

  • Interactive Arrangement: Provides interactive positioning and composition of high-resolution images, with explicit support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
  • Multi-format Output: Exports assembled figures in PDF and HTML formats.
  • Image Transparency: Supports adjustable image transparency for layered visualizations.
  • Controlled Vertical Stacking: Enables precise vertical stacking and alignment of plots.
  • Versatile Image Formats: Accepts Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and other common image formats for input.
  • Rich-Text Editor Integration: Integrates rich-text editing for embedding annotations and descriptive text within figures.
  • Layout Templates: Provides predefined templates for multi-panel arrangements.
  • Interactive HTML Output with Zoom: Produces sharable interactive HTML output including zoom-in functionality for detailed examination.

Scientific Applications:

  • Multi-panel figure assembly: Combining individual plots from diverse sources into cohesive, publication-ready multi-panel figures.
  • Interactive data exploration: Delivering sharable interactive HTML figures with zoom for detailed inspection of complex biological datasets.
  • Publication figure generation: Producing high-resolution figures suitable for inclusion in scientific publications.

Methodology:

Resolves stylesheet conflicts among coexisting SVG plots to enable integration of diverse visual elements.
