+type 	Describes the parameter type - each different type as different semantics 
+ and the tool form widget is different. Currently valid parameter types are: 
+ text, integer, float, boolean, genomebuild, select, color, data_column, hidden, hidden_data, baseurl, file, ftpfile, data, data_collection, library_data, drill_down. The definition of supported parameter 
+ types as defined in the parameter_types dictionary in /lib/galaxy/tools/parameters/basic.py.
