Galaxy tool to draw a Venn Diagram with up to 3 sets
====================================================

This tool is copyright 2011 by Peter Cock, The James Hutton Institute
(formerly SCRI, Scottish Crop Research Institute), UK. All rights reserved.
See the licence text below.

This tool is a short Python script (using both the Galaxy and Biopython library
functions) to extract ID lists from tabular, FASTA, FASTQ or SFF files to build
sets, which are then drawn using the R limma package function vennDiagram
(called from Python using rpy).

There are just two files to install:

* venn_list.py (the Python script)
* venn_list.xml (the Galaxy tool definition)

The suggested location is in the Galaxy folder tools/plotting next to other
graph drawing tools.

You will also need to modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer the
tool. The suggested location is in the "Graph/Display Data" section. Simply add
the line:

<tool file="plotting/venn_list.xml" />

You will also need to install Biopython 1.54 or later, and the R/Bioconductor
pacakge limma. You should already have rpy installed for other Galaxy tools.
