Emperor ChangeLog

Emperor 0.9.5 (14 Nov 2014)

  • Add make_emperor.py script auto-generated documentation.
  • Add numpydoc generated documentation setup.
  • Emperor's documentation requires sphinx-boostrap-theme and sphinx.
  • Add documentation about file formats.
  • Updated to three.js revision 68.
  • Fixed problem that removed unique/single-valued categories in the mapping file even if these were selected with --color_by.
  • Added chosen v1.1.0 for drop down menu.
  • Replace MeshLambertMaterial for MeshPhongMaterial to get nicer coloring.
  • Add options to select among different colorbrewer colormaps for continuous coloring.
  • Discrete colors are provided by colorbrewer.
  • The rainbow colormap has disappeared from emperor, see this paper if you want to use that colormap.
  • Remove discrete/continuous coloring checkbox and replace for the color-scheme drop down menu.
  • Add option to select QIIME colors from the color-scheme drop down menu.
  • Emperor now depends on scikit-bio 0.2.1.

Emperor 0.9.4 (10 Sept 2014)

  • Category names are no longer trimmed to 25 characters in the user interface.
  • Change the minimum percent required to display a plot to be greater than 0.01 instead of 0.5.
  • The percent explained by each of the axes is now formatted as a floating point number with two digits in the mantissa.
  • The Key tab now uses all the available space on screen.
  • Improve mouse sensitivity to rotate, pan, zoom-in and zoom out in the 3D plot.
  • Emperor is now hosted under the biocore GitHub organization.
  • Add toggle visible button (Invert Selected) under the Visibility tab, this button will change hidden categories to visible and vice-versa.
  • Supports both NumPy 1.7 and 1.8.
  • Depends on scikit-bio 0.1.4.
  • Emperor provides a Python object that is IPython aware (emperor.Emperor) that will display a usable plot from within the IPython notebook.
  • Each of the categories in the Colors tab displays the # of samples. Also, the labels svg has this information.
  • Emperor will multiply by 100 the percentages explained in the input file if PC1 is lower than 1. This behavior can be stopped using --pct_variation_below_one.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed problem where coordinate files with large values (greater than 100) would not be displayed on screen.
  • Fixed problem that prevented the user from scrolling through the categories in the user interface.
  • Clean-up the layout of the user interface so it's cleaner and consistent.
  • Fix problem where long category names would alter the layout of the interface.
  • Fix inability to write an 'E' character in the Filename field when exporting an svg.
  • Fix problem where Emperor would generate invalid SVG files for the labels and the plot.
  • Fix inability to reset an animation using the rewind button.
  • Fix one-sample trajectories to not fail during rendering of the animation (these will get ignored).
  • Fix sample identifiers that would fail when the animation started.
  • Fix failure due to passing --missing_custom_axes_values and having a value for all rows in the column of interest. Now is ignored.

New Features

  • Add animations tab to the main user interface.
  • Add unit tests for the JavaScript library code.
  • Support both classic and scikit-bio's coordinate formats.
  • The legends file that emperor generates now has a non-monospace font and a line surrounding each colored square.

Emperor 0.9.3 (5 Dec 2013)

  • Use gradient colors checkbox is now found under the Colors tab.
  • Merge the Options and View tabs; additionally the global opacity slider and global scale slider were moved to their respective tabs.
  • Use gradient colors checkbox now uses the standard blue -> red color gradient
  • Add Emperor to the Python Package Index, now you can install Emperor running pip install emperor.
  • Remove dependency on QIIME and PyCogent.
  • Emperor now depends on qcli and Numpy.

Bug Fixes

  • Add more meaningful error message for biplots when the contingency table passed included only one row.

Emperor 0.9.2 (24 Oct 2013)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes bug where files named procrustes_results.txt would not be ignored in a plot comparison.

Emperor 0.9.1 (21 Oct 2013)

New features

  • Scientific notation is now taken into account in the GUI for scientific coloring.
  • GUI is usable in mobile devices that support WebGL.
  • User documentation: tutorial, installation instructions, GUI description, etc.
  • Ability to make plot comparisons (very useful for procrustes analysis plots).
  • The user can select the number of axes to be considered in the GUI and re-plot using lower axes; this is, for example: PC3 vs PC4 vs PC10.
  • In missing_custom_axes_values you can reference other column within the mapping file to place the samples without numeric values at different points in the gradient.
  • Parallel plots functionality.
  • Separated out some options to the View menu.
  • The "Colors" tab now has a selector, which allows to use the arrows to move between categories.
  • Default coloring scheme is discrete.
  • Add color pickers for the axes and axes labels.
  • To take a screenshot (PNG) of your current visualization you can press ctrl+p.
  • Export to SVG your visualization.
  • Emperor now relies on QIIME 1.7.0.
  • Added option --number_of_segments to control the quality of all spheres
  • Labels for biplots now have a color picker.
  • Add color pickers for connecting bars in coordinate comparison plots.
  • Add option to select a master set of coordinates when making a comparison plot.
  • Adds a feature to negate axes. With this feature you can negate the coordinates of each data point. As a result, the spheres and/or edges will be adjusted appropriately.
  • Minor additions to the separator controller for the side bar.
  • As of 308629f550ff3e108903d3bcf1ce76ce85f4cb96 Emperor is now released under a BSD license.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes recenter camera not working.
  • Category names are sorted alphabetically.
  • Category names with non-alphanumeric characters are colored correctly now.
  • Biplots checkbox now accurately reflects status of biplot visiblity rather than opposite.
  • Comparison bars checkbox now accurately reflects status of the visiblity rather than opposite.
  • Scaling by percent explained now works with vectors and coordinate comparison plots.
  • Fixed bug where only the first bars in coordinate comparison plots could be hidden.
  • Improved documentation for saving and exporting images.

New features:

  • Intuitive and modern graphical user interface.
  • Simple workflow to modify the color of a sample/label from the user interface.

  • Show a selector in the plot when double-clicking a sample name.
  • Show and hide samples by a category in the mapping file.
  • Change the opacity of spheres/ellipses from the graphical user interface.
  • Change the size of a sphere from the graphical user interface.

  • Addition of contextualized error messages.
  • Reduced output size for datasets with rich mapping files.

Performance improvements:

  • Improved performance and responsiveness from the graphical user interface.
  • Superior graphics quality; elements are rendered in the graphics card not in the CPU.
  • Enhanced performance to create the output files.
