NAME

tkmap - a bioTk program for drawing publication quality genetic maps.

SYNOPSIS

tkmap [Tk options]

DESCRIPTION

tkmap is a bioTk script for drawing and printing high quality output of genetic maps. tkmap reads in a framework map file and a confidence interval file in a simple text format and draws the implied map on a Tk canvas. This canvas may be resized, and the font used for drawing the marker labels changed. You can also generate encapsulated postscript from the map, either for printing or importing into a word processing package.

OPTIONS

tkmap may understand the usual Tk options, it doesn't yet have any options of it's own.

FILE FORMATS

FRAMEWORK FILE
The framework map file lists the linear map markers one per line, in the correct map order. After each marker (except the last) list the distance from the marker to the next. Comment lines beginning with a ``#'' character and blank lines are ignored. Marker names ending with the ``*'' character are considered to be framework markers and are printed in boldface.

CONFIDENCE INTERVAL FILE
The confidence interval map file also has a list of markers, but instead of each marker being associated with a distance, it is instead associated with an interval between two markers on the framework map. List the two framework map markers at the extremes of the interval to which the new marker is associated.

If several markers are associated to the same interval, you can specify all their names between quotes as the first item in a line.

BUGS
