This tool includes two utilities. One that retrieves data from the KMD HMDB API formated as a tsv file, and the other plots those data in a plotly graph.
The default behavior of the plot is to produce a plot of the kmd in in function of the nominal mass of the compound.
Those two utilities are usable independently, or sequentially in galaxy.
Multiple X / Y values in the X/Y column selection can be selected to produce a lot of graphs at once.
For example, imagine you have 5 columns in you tsv file, and those columns are named: A, B, C, D and F.
If you choose X = [A, C] and Y = [B], then you will get two graphs (in one single HTML file) with:
- f(A) = B
- f(C) = B
But if you choose multiple values for both X and Y, you get all combinations of columns X and Y. For example, if you select X = [A, B] and Y = [C, D, E], then you will get six graphs on the same plot:
- f(A) = C
- f(A) = D
- f(A) = E
- f(B) = C
- f(B) = D
- f(B) = E
All those graph's traces will be tooglable in the HTML page. So don't hesitate to select a lot of parameters for X and Y!
