Launch GenePattern visualizer from the desktop. Use this as a replacement for the 'Open Visualizer' link embedded in the web page to launch (legacy) Java Applet based visualizers such as MultiplotStudio.

To get started ...

Mac OS X: Download VisualizerLauncher.app.zip, unzip, and run the app.

Other java: Download the visualizerLauncher.jar file. Double-click to exec the jar file. Or, from a Terminal window

java -jar visualizerLauncher-1.2.3.jar

Launching your visualizer ...

The VisualizerLauncher opens in a new application window. If for some reason it is hidden, look for the "VisualizerLauncher" java application icon in your dock. Enter the server, (e.g. https://genepattern.broadinstitute.org/gp), your username, password, and the job number of your visualizer job. Click 'Submit'. The launcher will connect to the server, download the required application and data files, and launch the visualizer as a new window.
