Colour schemes - rrwick/Bandage GitHub Wiki

Bandage has multiple different node colouring schemes that can be selected via a drop-down menu in the main window:

Random colours

This colour scheme gives each node a random hue. The colours are different each time it is selected, so changing the scheme away from and back to 'Random colours' will result in different node colours.

Uniform colour

This colour scheme gives nodes uniform colours.

Colour by depth

This colour scheme gives nodes different colours based on their depth.

BLAST hits (solid)

This colour scheme gives all nodes the same colour and highlights BLAST hits on the nodes using a colour specific to the BLAST query.

BLAST hits (rainbow)

This colour scheme gives all nodes the same colour and highlights BLAST hits on the nodes using colours related to the position in the BLAST query.

Colour by contiguity

This colour scheme allows you to highlight nodes in the graph which are likely to be contiguous with one or more starting nodes.

For more information, see determining contiguity.

Custom colours

This colour scheme allows the user to apply any colour to selected nodes.

Custom colours can also be loaded via CSV file (see CSV labels).

Other colours

The colours for graph edges, node outlines, text and text outlines can also be configured. These settings are in the 'Graph appearance' and 'Text appearance' sections of the Bandage settings.
