Preferences and languages
Settings saves language, toolbar mode, row height, sidebar visibility, shared Y, bin count, colors, Y scale, reference lines, annotation limit, and public gene source. The source defaults to UCSC and can be changed to Ensembl. Display settings do not change D4 files.
| Setting | Use |
|---|---|
| Bin count | Increase to see detail after zooming in. |
| Automatic Y scale | Show each track's shape. |
| Fixed Y scale | Compare regions at the same height scale. |
| Include zero | Show the baseline. |
| Shared Y | Compare heights across visible tracks. |
| Reference lines | Mark a threshold. |
Change the language in Settings and restart. --locale overrides the saved language for one run. If no language is saved, System default uses the OS language; unsupported languages fall back to English.
Settings are stored at:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/D4 Plot/settings.json - Linux:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/d4-plot/settings.json, or~/.config/d4-plot/settings.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\D4 Plot\settings.json, then%LOCALAPPDATA%\D4 Plot\settings.json, then~/D4 Plot/settings.json
Invalid settings fall back to defaults.
