without subfeatures). |
| Bordered? |
true |
Controls whether a border is painted around features. |
| Label size |
10 |
Controls the size of feature labels. Set to 0 if you would
rather not see feature labels at all. |
| Show Coordinates in Label? |
false |
Controls whether to show feature coordinates in label. |
| Show Track Labels? |
false |
Controls whether to color-coded track labels at the left edge of the feature map.
This is most useful for segregated tracks. For integrated tracks, the label is Integrated.

to displays a warning that the
database sequence you are opening is longer than this
threshold value and may take a long time to load. |

false |
Controls whether to present sequence in ascending (5' to 3') or
descending (3' to 5') order. |
| Segregate Strands? |
false |
Controls whether to group features by strand. This is a very
