+# WARNING before you start
+# Install this tool on a private Galaxy ONLY
+# Please NEVER on a public or production instance
+
+Please cite:
+http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/bts573?ijkey=lczQh1sWrMwdYWJ&keytype=ref 
+if you use this tool in your published work.
+
+*Short Story*
+
+This is an unusual Galaxy tool that exposes unrestricted and therefore extremely dangerous
+scripting to designated administrative users of a Galaxy server, allowing them to run scripts 
+in R, python, sh and perl over a single input data set, writing a single new data set as output.
+
+In addition, this tool optionally generates very simple new Galaxy tools, that effectively
+freeze the supplied script into a new, ordinary Galaxy tool that runs it over a single input file, 
+working just like any other Galaxy tool for your users. 
+
+To use the ToolFactory, you should have prepared a script to paste into a text box,
+and a small test input example ready to select from your history to test your new script.
+There is an example in each scripting language on the Tool Factory form. You can just
+cut and paste these to try it out - remember to select the right interpreter please. You'll
+also need to create a small test data set using the Galaxy history add new data tool.
+
+If the script fails somehow, use the "redo" button on the tool output in your history to
+recreate the form complete with broken script. Fix the bug and execute again. Rinse, wash, repeat.
+
+Once the script runs sucessfully, a new Galaxy tool that runs your script can be generated.
+Select the "generate" option and supply some help text and names. The new tool will be
+generated in the form of a new Galaxy datatype - toolshed.gz - as the name suggests,
+it's an archive ready to upload to a Galaxy ToolShed as a new tool repository.
+
+Once it's in a ToolShed, it can be installed into any local Galaxy server from
+the server administrative interface.
+
+Once the new tool is installed, local users can run it - each time, the script that was supplied
+when it was built will be executed with the input chosen from the user's history. In other words,
+the tools you generate with the ToolFactory run just like any other Galaxy tool,
+but run your script every time. 
+
+Tool factory tools are perfect for workflow components. One input, one output, no variables.
+
+*Reasons to read further*
+
+If you use Galaxy to support your research;
+
+You and fellow users are sometimes forced to take data out of Galaxy, process it with ugly
+little perl/awk/sed/R... scripts and put it back;
+
+You do this when you can't do some transformation in Galaxy (the 90/10 rule);
+
+You don't have enough developer resources for wrapping dozens of even relatively simple tools;
+
+Your research and your institution would be far better off if those feral scripts were all tucked 
+safely in your local toolshed and Galaxy histories.
+
+*The good news* If it can be trivially scripted, it can be running safely in your
+local Galaxy via your own local toolshed in a few minutes - with functional tests.
+
+
+*Value proposition* The ToolFactory allows Galaxy to efficiently take over most of your lab's 
+dark script matter, making it reproducible in Galaxy and shareable through the ToolShed.
+
+That's what this tool does. You paste a simple script and the tool returns 
+a new, real Galaxy tool, ready to be installed from the local toolshed to local servers.
+Scripts can be wrapped and online literally within minutes.
+
+*To fully and safely exploit the awesome power* of this tool, Galaxy and the ToolShed,
+you should be a developer installing this tool on a private/personal/scratch local instance where you 
+are an admin_user. Then, if you break it, you get to keep all the pieces
+see https://bitbucket.org/fubar/galaxytoolfactory/wiki/Home
+
+** Installation **
+This is a Galaxy tool. You can install it most conveniently using the administrative "Search and browse tool sheds" link.
+Find the Galaxy Test toolshed (not main) and search for the toolfactory repository.
+Open it and review the code and select the option to install it.
+
+If you can't get the tool that way, the xml and py files here need to be copied into a new tools 
+subdirectory such as tools/toolfactory Your tool_conf.xml needs a new entry pointing to the xml 
+file - something like::
+
+  <section name="Tool building tools" id="toolbuilders">
+    <tool file="toolfactory/rgToolFactory.xml"/>
+  </section>
+
+If not already there (I just added it to datatypes_conf.xml.sample), please add:
+<datatype extension="toolshed.gz" type="galaxy.datatypes.binary:Binary" mimetype="multipart/x-gzip" subclass="True" />
+to your local data_types_conf.xml. 
+
+Ensure that html sanitization is set to False and uncommented in universe_wsgi.ini
+
+You'll have to restart the server for the new tool to be available.
+
+Of course, R, python, perl etc are needed on your path if you want to test scripts using those interpreters.
+Adding new ones to this tool code should be easy enough. Please make suggestions as bitbucket issues and code.
+The HTML file code automatically shrinks R's bloated pdfs, and depends on ghostscript. The thumbnails require imagemagick .
+
+* Restricted execution *
+The new tool factory tool will then be usable ONLY by admin users - people with IDs in admin_users in universe_wsgi.ini
+**Yes, that's right. ONLY admin_users can run this tool** Think about it for a moment. If allowed to run any
+arbitrary script on your Galaxy server, the only thing that would impede a miscreant bent on destroying all your
+Galaxy data would probably be lack of appropriate technical skills.
+
+*What it does* This is a tool factory for simple scripts in python, R and perl currently. 
+Functional tests are automatically generated. How cool is that. 
+
+LIMITED to simple scripts that read one input from the history.
+Optionally can write one new history dataset,
+and optionally collect any number of outputs into links on an autogenerated HTML
+index page for the user to navigate - useful if the script writes images and output files - pdf outputs
+are shown as thumbnails and R's bloated pdf's are shrunk with ghostscript so that and imagemagik need to
+be avaailable.
+
+Generated tools can be edited and enhanced like any Galaxy tool, so start small and build up since
+a generated script gets you a serious leg up to a more complex one.
+
+*What you do* You paste and run your script
+you fix the syntax errors and eventually it runs
+You can use the redo button and edit the script before
+trying to rerun it as you debug - it works pretty well.
+
+Once the script works on some test data, you can
+generate a toolshed compatible gzip file
+containing your script ready to run as an ordinary Galaxy tool in a
+repository on your local toolshed. That means safe and largely automated installation in any
+production Galaxy configured to use your toolshed.
+
+*Generated tool Security* Once you install a generated tool, it's just
+another tool - assuming the script is safe. They just run normally and their user cannot do anything unusually insecure
+but please, practice safe toolshed.
+Read the fucking code before you install any tool. 
+Especially this one - it is really scary.
+
+If you opt for an HTML output, you get all the script outputs arranged
+as a single Html history item - all output files are linked, thumbnails for all the pdfs.
+Ugly but really inexpensive.
+
+Patches and suggestions welcome as bitbucket issues please? 
+
+long route to June 2012 product
+derived from an integrated script model  
+called rgBaseScriptWrapper.py
+Note to the unwary:
+  This tool allows arbitrary scripting on your Galaxy as the Galaxy user
+  There is nothing stopping a malicious user doing whatever they choose
+  Extremely dangerous!!
+  Totally insecure. So, trusted users only

+
+Material for our more enthusiastic and voracious readers continues below - we salute you.
+
+**Motivation** Simple transformation, filtering or reporting scripts get written, run and lost every day in most busy labs 
+- even ours where Galaxy is in use. This 'dark script matter' is pervasive and generally not reproducible.
+
+**Benefits** For our group, this allows Galaxy to fill that important dark script gap - all those "small" bioinformatics 
+tasks. Once a user has a working R (or python or perl) script that does something Galaxy cannot currently do (eg transpose a 
+tabular file) and takes parameters the way Galaxy supplies them (see example below), they:
+
+1. Install the tool factory on a personal private instance
+
+2. Upload a small test data set
+
+3. Paste the script into the 'script' text box and iteratively run the insecure tool on test data until it works right - 
+there is absolutely no reason to do this anywhere other than on a personal private instance. 
+
+4. Once it works right, set the 'Generate toolshed gzip' option and run it again. 
+
+5. A toolshed style gzip appears ready to upload and install like any other Toolshed entry. 
+
+6. Upload the new tool to the toolshed
+
+7. Ask the local admin to check the new tool to confirm it's not evil and install it in the local production galaxy
+
+**Simple examples on the tool form**
+
+A simple Rscript "filter" showing how the command line parameters can be handled, takes an input file, 
+does something (transpose in this case) and writes the results to a new tabular file::
+
+ # transpose a tabular input file and write as a tabular output file
+ ourargs = commandArgs(TRUE)
+ inf = ourargs[1]
+ outf = ourargs[2]
+ inp = read.table(inf,head=F,row.names=NULL,sep='\t')
+ outp = t(inp)
+ write.table(outp,outf, quote=FALSE, sep="\t",row.names=F,col.names=F)
+
+Calculate a multiple test adjusted p value from a column of p values - for this script to be useful,
+it needs the right column for the input to be specified in the code for the
+given input file type(s) specified when the tool is generated ::
+
+ # use p.adjust - assumes a HEADER row and column 1 - please fix for any real use
+ column = 1 # adjust if necessary for some other kind of input
+ fdrmeth = 'BH'
+ ourargs = commandArgs(TRUE)
+ inf = ourargs[1]
+ outf = ourargs[2]
+ inp = read.table(inf,head=T,row.names=NULL,sep='\t')
+ p = inp[,column]
+ q = p.adjust(p,method=fdrmeth)
+ newval = paste(fdrmeth,'p-value',sep='_')
+ q = data.frame(q)
+ names(q) = newval
+ outp = cbind(inp,newval=q)
+ write.table(outp,outf, quote=FALSE, sep="\t",row.names=F,col.names=T) 
+
+
+
+Another Rscript example without any input file - generates a random heatmap pdf - you must make sure the option to create an HTML output file is
+turned on for this to work. The heatmap will be presented as a thumbnail linked to the pdf in the resulting HTML page::
+
+ # note this script takes NO input or output because it generates random data
+ foo = data.frame(a=runif(100),b=runif(100),c=runif(100),d=runif(100),e=runif(100),f=runif(100))
+ bar = as.matrix(foo)
+ pdf( "heattest.pdf" )
+ heatmap(bar,main='Random Heatmap')
+ dev.off()
+
+A Python example that reverses each row of a tabular file. You'll need to remove the leading spaces for this to work if cut
+and pasted into the script box. Note that you can already do this in Galaxy by setting up the cut columns tool with the
+correct number of columns in reverse order,but this script will work for any number of columns so is completely generic::
+
+# reverse order of columns in a tabular file
+import sys
+inp = sys.argv[1]
+outp = sys.argv[2]
+i = open(inp,'r')
+o = open(outp,'w')
+for row in i:
+    rs = row.rstrip().split('\t')
+    rs.reverse()
+    o.write('\t'.join(rs))
+    o.write('\n')
+i.close()
+o.close()
+
+
+Galaxy as an IDE for developing API scripts
+If you need to develop Galaxy API scripts and you like to live dangerously, please read on.
+
+Galaxy as an IDE?
+Amazingly enough, blend-lib API scripts run perfectly well *inside* Galaxy when pasted into a Tool Factory form. No need to generate a new tool. Galaxy+Tool_Factory = IDE I think we need a new t-shirt. Seriously, it is actually quite useable.
+
+Why bother - what's wrong with Eclipse
+Nothing. But, compared with developing API scripts in the usual way outside Galaxy, you get persistence and other framework benefits plus at absolutely no extra charge, a ginormous security problem if you share the history or any outputs because they contain the api script with key so development servers only please!
+
+Workflow
+Fire up the Tool Factory in Galaxy.
+
+Leave the input box empty, set the interpreter to python, paste and run an api script - eg working example (substitute the url and key) below.
+
+It took me a few iterations to develop the example below because I know almost nothing about the API. I started with very simple code from one of the samples and after each run, the (edited..) api script is conveniently recreated using the redo button on the history output item. So each successive version of the developing api script you run is persisted - ready to be edited and rerun easily. It is ''very'' handy to be able to add a line of code to the script and run it, then view the output to (eg) inspect dicts returned by API calls to help move progressively deeper iteratively.
+
+Give the below a whirl on a private clone (install the tool factory from the main toolshed) and try adding complexity with few rerun/edit/rerun cycles.
+
+Eg tool factory api script
+import sys
+from blend.galaxy import GalaxyInstance
+ourGal = 'http://x.x.x.x:xxxx'
+ourKey = 'xxx'
+gi = GalaxyInstance(ourGal, key=ourKey)
+libs = gi.libraries.get_libraries()
+res = []
+# libs looks like
+# u'url': u'/galaxy/api/libraries/441d8112651dc2f3', u'id': u'441d8112651dc2f3', u'name':.... u'Demonstration sample RNA data',
+for lib in libs:  
+    res.append('%s:\n' % lib['name'])
+    res.append(str(gi.libraries.show_library(lib['id'],contents=True)))
+outf=open(sys.argv[2],'w')
+outf.write('\n'.join(res))
+outf.close()

+# march 2014
+# had to remove dependencies because cross toolshed dependencies are not possible - can't pre-specify a toolshed url for graphicsmagick and ghostscript
+# grrrrr - night before a demo
+# added dependencies to a tool_dependencies.xml if html page generated so generated tool is properly portable
+#
+# added ghostscript and graphicsmagick as dependencies 
+# fixed a wierd problem where gs was trying to use the new_files_path from universe (database/tmp) as ./database/tmp

+#
+# august 2013
+# found a problem with GS if $TMP or $TEMP missing - now inject /tmp and warn
+#
+# july 2013
+# added ability to combine images and individual log files into html output
+# just make sure there's a log file foo.log and it will be output
+# together with all images named like "foo_*.pdf
+# otherwise old format for html
+#
+# January 2013

+
+**Details and attribution** GTF_
+
+**Local Admins ONLY** Only users whose IDs found in the local admin_user configuration setting in universe_wsgi.ini can run this tool.
+
+**If you find a bug** please raise an issue at the bitbucket repository GTFI_
+
+**What it does** This tool enables a user to paste and submit an arbitrary R/python/perl script to Galaxy.
+
+**Input options** This version is limited to simple transformation or reporting requiring only a single input file selected from the history.
+
+**Output options** Optional script outputs include one single new history tabular file, or for scripts that create multiple outputs,
+a new HTML report linking all the files and images created by the script can be automatically generated.
+
+**Tool Generation option** Once the script is working with test data, this tool will optionally generate a new Galaxy tool in a gzip file
+ready to upload to your local toolshed for sharing and installation. Provide a small sample input when you run generate the tool because
+it will become the input for the generated functional test.
+
+.. class:: warningmark
+
+**Note to system administrators** This tool offers *NO* built in protection against malicious scripts. It should only be installed on private/personnal Galaxy instances.
+Admin_users will have the power to do anything they want as the Galaxy user if you install this tool.
+
+.. class:: warningmark
+
+**Use on public servers**  is STRONGLY discouraged for obvious reasons
+
+The tools generated by this tool will run just as securely as any other normal installed Galaxy tool but like any other new tools, should always be checked carefully before installation.
+We recommend that you follow the good code hygiene practices associated with safe toolshed.
+
+**Scripting conventions** The pasted script will be executed with the path to the (optional) input tabular data file path or NONE if you do not select one, and the path to the optional
+output file or None if none is wanted, as the first and second command line parameters. The script must deal appropriately with these - see Rscript examples below.
+Note that if an optional HTML output is selected, all the output files created by the script will be nicely presented as links, with pdf images linked as thumbnails in that output.
+This can be handy for complex scripts creating lots of output.
+
+**Examples**
+<![CDATA[
+
+Each of these following trivial examples can be cut and pasted into the script box for testing.
+Please make sure you choose the appropriate interpreter and upload and select a suitable small matching test data input
+
+A simple Rscript "filter" showing how the command line parameters can be handled, takes an input file, does something (transpose in this case) and 
+writes the results to a new tabular file. Note the use of colClasses to ensure that no fiddling takes place with numeric values by treating everything
+as a string::
+
+ # transpose a tabular input file and write as a tabular output file
+ ourargs = commandArgs(TRUE)
+ inf = ourargs[1]
+ outf = ourargs[2]
+ inp = read.table(inf,head=F,row.names=NULL,sep='\t',colClasses="character")
+ outp = t(inp)
+ write.table(outp,outf, quote=FALSE, sep="\t",row.names=F,col.names=F)
+
+Calculate a multiple test adjusted p value from a column of p values - for this script to be useful, it needs the right column for the input to be specified in the code for the
+given input file type(s) specified when the tool is generated ::
+
+ # use p.adjust - assumes a HEADER row and column 1 - please fix for any real use
+ column = 1 # adjust if necessary for some other kind of input
+ ourargs = commandArgs(TRUE)
+ inf = ourargs[1]
+ outf = ourargs[2]
+ inp = read.table(inf,head=T,row.names=NULL,sep='\t')
+ p = inp[,column]
+ q = p.adjust(p,method='BH')
+ outp = cbind(inp,'BH Adjusted p-value'=q)
+ write.table(outp,outf, quote=FALSE, sep="\t",row.names=F,col.names=T) 
+
+
+A demonstration Rscript example takes no input file but generates some random data based pdf images
+You must make sure the option to create an HTML output file is
+turned on for this to work. Images (pdf) are linked via thumbnails and
+all files have a link on the resulting HTML page::
+
+ # note this script takes NO input or output because it generates random data
+ for (i in 1:10) {
+    foo = runif(100)
+    bar = rnorm(100)
+    bar = foo + 0.05*bar
+    pdf(paste('yet',i,"anotherplot.pdf",sep='_'))
+    plot(foo,bar,main=paste("Foo by Bar plot #",i),col="maroon", pch=3,cex=0.6)
+    dev.off()
+    foo = data.frame(a=runif(100),b=runif(100),c=runif(100),d=runif(100),e=runif(100),f=runif(100))
+    bar = as.matrix(foo)
+    pdf(paste('yet',i,"anotherheatmap.pdf",sep='_'))
+    heatmap(bar,main='Random Heatmap')
+    dev.off()
+ }
+
+A slight variation taking an input tabular file from which we read the first number as nreps
+
+# note this script takes a single parameter
+# number of replicates
+ourargs = commandArgs(TRUE)
+infname = ourargs[1]
+nreps = read.table(infname,head=F)
+nreps = unlist(nreps)[1]
+nreps = max(c(1,nreps))
+nreps = min(c(20,nreps))
+print(paste("Using nreps=",nreps))
+for (i in 1:nreps) {
+   foo = runif(100)
+   bar = rnorm(100)
+   bar = foo + 0.2*bar
+   pdf(paste("yet",i,"anotherplot.pdf",sep="_"))
+   plot(foo,bar,main=paste("Foo by Bar plot ",i),col="maroon", pch=3,cex=0.6)
+   dev.off()
+   foo = data.frame(a=runif(100),b=runif(100),c=runif(100),d=runif(100),e=runif(100),f=runif(100))
+   bar = as.matrix(foo)
+   pdf(paste("yet",i,"anotherheatmap.pdf",sep="_"))
+   heatmap(bar,main="Random Heatmap")
+   dev.off()
+}
+
+A Python example that reverses each row of a tabular file (you'll need to remove the leading spaces 
+for this to work if cut and pasted into the script box)::
+
+ # reverse order of columns in a tabular file
+ import sys
+ inp = sys.argv[1]
+ outp = sys.argv[2]
+ i = open(inp,'r')
+ o = open(outp,'w')
+ for row in i:
+     rs = row.rstrip().split('\t')
+     rs.reverse()
+     o.write('\t'.join(rs))
+     o.write('\n')
+ i.close()
+ o.close()
+ 
+A trivial shell script example to show that it works::
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+ INF=$1
+ OUTF=$2
+ cut -c2,4,6,8,10,12 $INF > $OUTF 
+
+A trivial perl script example to show that even perl works::
+
+ #
+ # change all occurances of a string in a file to another string
+ #
+ $oldfile = $ARGV[0];
+ $newfile = $ARGV[1];
