Feature Request: Base number in Trace View

Open gregorylearns opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hi thank you for your work with seqtrace, me and my colleagues appreciate it. I just learned of this tool yesterday and showed it to my colleagues. They think it's great. One feedback I noticed when I was showing it to them was the lack of counting and labelling of base (e.g. Where does the 20th base end, 500th base?)

I sketched up suggestions in photoshop as to how it could be implemented: base_number

Or this implementation: base_number_selected

I think this second implementation is much simpler to do and would be super useful. From my very limited experience with GUIs, adding a new UI element especially a bar is a tough one and takes a lot of time. Thus I think the second solution would be easier.

I am a novice in python programming, I'll try doing my implementation of the aforementioned suggestions on my spare time. I am sending this feature request in case this feature is part of the nearly ready new release that you mentioned here.

Again thank you for your work and we appreciate it!

Thank you for the detailed comment and suggestion, @gregorylearns! That is a great suggestion. I will certainly keep this in mind for a future release.
