First of all, thank you very much for developing plotgardener and making it openly available to the community.
This is an exceptionally powerful and elegant tool for creating publication-quality multi-panel genomic figures. The ability to precisely arrange tracks and annotations using a coordinate-based system is extremely valuable, and in my opinion, plotgardener has tremendous potential to become a standard tool for complex genomics figure design.
As I have been learning and using plotgardener, I noticed that one of the main challenges for new users is discovering practical examples for different figure layouts and use cases. While the documentation and vignettes are very helpful, many users would likely benefit from seeing a broader collection of real-world examples contributed by the community.
Suggestion
Would it be possible to create a platform or section where users can share their plotgardener code and resulting figures?
Possible formats might include:
- A dedicated GitHub Discussions category
- A community examples repository
- A "Show and Tell" page on the documentation website
- A curated gallery of figure layouts and reusable code snippets
Potential Benefits
Such a resource could provide several important advantages:
- Accelerate learning for new users by providing practical templates.
- Promote reproducibility through reusable code examples.
- Demonstrate the flexibility of plotgardener across diverse genomic visualization tasks.
- Foster community engagement and encourage contributions.
- Highlight innovative figure designs that may inspire other researchers.
Example Use Cases That Could Be Shared
- Multi-omics data visualization
- Genomic track layout examples
- Publication-ready figure templates
- And so on
I believe plotgardener has enormous potential, and a community-driven showcase could greatly enhance its adoption and impact.
Thank you again for creating and maintaining this outstanding package.
