Can I Label Tiles In Circos?
I'm pulling my hair out over this. I want to display information about genes in Circos. So I plotted gene regions, shown here as green tiles. Could someone please tell me how to label the tiles? Thanks in advance.
Here's the plotting part from Circos configuration file.
<plots>
type = tile
layers_overflow
<plot>
file = data/genes.txt
r1 = 0.99r
r0 = 0.96r
orientation = center
layers = 1
margin = 0.02u
thickness = 25
padding = 3
layers_overflow = collapse
layers_overflow_color = green
stroke_thickness = 1
stroke_color = dgreen
color = green
</plot>
</plots>
And my file gene.txt looks like this:
017B07 577 29521 gene1
017B07 32684 34490 gene2
017B07 35880 37457 gene3
017B07 39649 43420 gene4

You just need to add another plot tag with labels:
<plot>
type = text
color = black
label_font = default
label_size = 24p
file = genes.txt
r1 = 1r+500p
r0 = 0.9r
show_links = no
</plot>
And voila:
