OCCURRENCE

ARB_EDIT4

 

DESCRIPTION

The ARB_EDIT4 editor uses two tables to translate the original sequence into a colored displayed sequence:

First Step:

Each character in each sequence is translated into a new character and a color index (0..9) using the definitions from the 'SEQUENCE COLORS' subwindow.

  • There are different sets (S_0 .. S_#) of color shemes, one column for each set.
  • In the first row you may choose which set is used for translation.
  • The first column shows the characters which should be translated/replaced.
  • The nth + 1 column holds the data for translation set n. Each of its fields has two characters:
    1. the character which should replace the original value, or '=' if no translation should be performed.
    2. A color index for this character, between 0 and 9.


Second Step:

Each of the color indices (0..9) corresponds to one of the colors defined in <Properties/Change colors & fonts>, namely to

index     corresponding color
0         SEQUENCES
1         HELIX(1)
2         COLOR 2
3         COLOR 3
.         .
.         .
9         COLOR 9
