10 Galaxy tool to create plotly interactive hover detail HTML plots from user selected columns of any Galaxy tabular data.
11 ## Recommended only for low dimensional data - a few thousand rows
12 Otherwise file sizes get huge and hover is useless to the viewer, so use non-interactive pdf for bigger data please.

12 A specialised version for 25 column Galaxy blastn search outputs is also available. It uses this code mostly, but adds a default header and auto-transformation of the evalue column -log10(x) to make them more like the bitscore 22 A specialised version for 25 column Galaxy blastn search outputs is also available.

24 ## Tool made with the Galaxy ToolFactory: https://github.com/fubar2/galaxy_tf_overlay
25 The current release includes this and a generic tabular version, and a java .jar wrapper in a history where the generating
26 ToolFactory form can be recreated using the redo button. Editing the tool id will make a new tool, so all other edits to parameters can be
27 made and the new tool generated without destroying the original sample.
