New update for the gbdraw web app!🚀
You can now display gene labels ONLY on the first genome in the linear diagram. Just select "First" in the "Label layout" option.
Try it out here👉: gbdraw.streamlit.app

🚀 Released gbdraw v0.6.0!

- Added dinucleotide skew plotting to linear mode. Fixed the bug where only GC skew could be drawn.

- Added links to relevant sections of the documentation throughout the web app help menu.

Released gbdraw v0.5.3! 🚀
- Smarter layout engine: reduced overlapping labels, legends, or definitions (linear mode)
- Circular mode: genomes >5 Mb now show tick labels in megabases (Mb)
- Official Documentation published with full guides & tutorials

I’ve improved the label rendering features in the gbdraw web app:
- selectively hide labels via a blacklist
- qualifier display priority customization
- adjustable label arcs
These updates make it easier to visualize larger genomes without layout issues.

I’ve updated the web app for the genome visualization tool 𝙜𝙗𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙬!
- You can now place labels on the inner edge of circular genomes.
- Edit the color palette directly within the app.
