Changing dotsize (radius) of cells in an already built cellbrowser

[redst4r]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there's a quick way to change the dotsize ("radius" in cellbrowser.conf) of cells in an already existing cellbrowser (built into a html site via cbBuild).

I noticed the dots are way too small in a cellbrowser I built recently (with ALOT of cells), and I'd rather not rebuild the thing until I get a appropriate size (it takes quite a while to build).

Thanks!

Hi @redst4r, rebuilding should be fast. If you build into the same directory, it will only re-create the meta information, which is quick. Otherwise: to change the radius directly in the html directory, just edit dataset.json, there is a 'radius=xx' setting in it. Also: I really really need to add a little input box where one can change the radius interactively, right?

Hi,

thanks, I'll try editing the dataset.json (unfortunately, I got rid of the intermediate files created by the scanpy-export, so I cant quickly rebuild the html).
An input box with custom dotsize would of course be nice, but is there a way to remember a users choice across sessions (via cookies or something)? Otherwise they'll have to adjust that setting each time.

Just had a look at the dataset.json file in the html directory.
Here's how it looks like, I don't see a "radius" setting, not sure exactly where to add it:

{
  "name": "",
  "shortLabel": "somename",
  "inDir": "/some/path",
  "datasets": [
    {
      "shortLabel": "somename",
      "name": "somename",
      "md5": "776de8bada",
      "hasFiles": [
        "datasetDesc"
      ],
      "sampleCount": 20910
    }
  ],
  "md5": "d9df92ffa0",
  "fileVersions": {
    "desc": {
      "fname": "/some/path/desc.conf",
      "md5": "9acc04939e",
      "size": 94,
      "mtime": "2021-12-03 23:51:08"
    }
  },
  "hasFiles": [
    "datasetDesc"
  ]
}

Am I missing something here? I noticed there's another dataset.json in the subdirectory where the actual data resides (e.g. UMAP.coords.tsv.gz ...). That dataset.json is much more complicated, but I don't see a radius setting there eiher.

The website was build using cellbrowser 1.0.1. I can try to update to the most recent version.

Thanks alot for your help!!!

This is only the root dataset.json. You'll need to find dataset.json of every dataset, it's in a subdirectory, the dataset that you want to change, and where you want to change the radius and change it there And if no radius is specified yet in the file, you can add a new line like "radius" : 4, after the line with "name".

great, editing the dataset.json of the actual dataset worked nicely as a quick fix!!
In the future, I'll make sure radius is already set when building the cellbrowser-website!
