Custom visualization plugins
----------------------------

Visualizations can be added to your Galaxy instance by creating
sub-directories, templates, and static files here.

Properly configured and written visualizations will be accessible to
the user when they click the 'visualizations' icon for a dataset
in their history panel.

The framework must be enabled in your 'galaxy.ini' file by uncommenting (and
having a valid path for) the 'visualizations_plugin_directory' entry.

For more information, see http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/VisualizationsRegistry


Sub-directory structure
-----------------------

In general, sub-directories should follow the pattern:

    my_visualization/
        config/
            my_visualization.xml
        static/
            ... any static files the visualization needs (if any)
        templates/
            ... any Mako templates the visualization needs

The XML config file for a visualization plugin can be validated on the command
line using (from your plugin directory):

    xmllint my_visualization/config/my_visualization.xml --valid --noout
