CanvasVariants RightClick Menu

[nathanhaigh]

I can't seem to figure out how to add a right-click menu to a CanvasVariants track. Specifically one using VCFTabix storeClass defined in a tracks.conf file.

Is this possible and I'm just not finding/understanding the documentation?

I've managed with a CanvasFeatures using NCList storeClass using menuTemplate in a trackList.json file.

For menuTemplate in tracks.conf format there is an example at the bottom of this section

http://gmod.org/wiki/JBrowse_Configuration_Guide#Customizing_Right-click_Context_Menus

That was at least one way I had that work so I added it to the docs there. It incorporates json into the tracks.conf format :)

Hope that helps

I've tried that @cmdcolin but I still don't get any sort of pop-up :(

[cmdcolin]

@nathanhaigh I added the lines

menuTemplate+=json:{"label": "View details"}
menuTemplate+=json:{"label": "Zoom to this gene"}
menuTemplate+=json:{"label": "Highlight this gene"}
menuTemplate+=json:{"label": "Open example.com in an iframe popup", "iconClass" : "dijitIconDatabase","action": "iframeDialog","url" : "http://www.example.com?featurename={name}"}

To the menuTemplate and it did give me the example iframe pop up

Closing as resolved, reopen if this is still an issue.

Just got back to testing this. The right click doesn't work as soon as you add displayMode = collapsed. Is this intentional?

[cmdcolin]

This is kind of obscure but if you enable enableCollapsedMouseover=true then you can get the right click menus with the collapse mode on

[rbuels]

Did we disable those in collapsed mode for performance? I forget

@rbuels I am actually not really sure...maybe that is true because mousing over many collapsed features might dynamically create and destroy many right click menus

I have dense tracks that are configured to open collapsed by default. I believe I asked for this at one point, as the feature display is so busy when collapsed that it's hard to discern what you are selecting in a mouseover My complete thought was that it would be cool to have a mouseclick event anywhere in a collapsed track pane toggle that display to, say, compact mode, but this hasn't been attempted yet.

For my purposes, 'normal' display without labels will work just fine.
