How to draw genome atlas on Linux?

I would like to compare the whole genome of different bacteria to have a quick view of features such as large deletions, recombinations, etc. In essence, what I am looking for is to create a genome atlas

enter image description here

or a blast atlas

even in lienar form.

What tools are available for this job, preferably running on Linux/Ubuntu machines?

Thank you

BRIG (BLAST ring image generator) may apply https://sourceforge.net/projects/brig/

if there is a specific workflow using circos to generate the figures OP requested i'd be interested. i know circos does a lot but seems like a tutorial/guide that gives something like BRIG would be cool. note also that BRIG has 2,000+ citations, well used tool (though circos is 7,000+)

You are right, the tools (both genome and blast atlas) are discontinued. But I could not find an alternative yet.

BRIG and Circos seem to do the job. I'll try them, thank you.
