Documentation

See https://genepattern.github.io/VisualizerLauncher/

To get started ...

[Mac OS X] Download VisualizerLauncher.app.zip, unzip, and open the app.
[Other java] Download visualizerLauncher.jar and double-click the jar file.

Launching a visualizer ...

Run the visualizer of interest in GenePattern, as you normally would. Once the Job Status page displays, and the visualizer fails to launch in your browser, you will now have the job number to provide to the app.

After opening the app (either by double clicking or opening - see above for OS specific instructions), the VisualizerLauncher opens in a new application window.
You will then need to enter the following information ...

  • server, e.g. https://genepattern.broadinstitute.org/gp (this can be copied from the URL bar in your browser)
  • your genepattern username
  • your genepattern password
  • the job number of your visualizer job

Click Submit ... the launcher downloads the application and data files from the server, then opens the visualizer in a new window.

Note: To start from a command line shell (aka Terminal.app on Mac OS X) ...

java -jar visualizerLauncher-1.2.4.jar
