Using a small Python script, you can convert your browser track into a excel sheet. This will allow you to edit any options/metadata/color/url for the track individually or groupwise using existing excel techniques. For example, you can change the color or add metadata for different celltypes by dragging and dropiping in the excel. You can also directly add new track by adding a new row in the excel sheet.
The steps are easy.
- Download your browser session as
jsonfile. - Put the
.jsonfile in the script folder and run the following command
python JSON_processing.py json your_file.json- This will generate an excel file (
.xlsx) in the same directory asyour_file.xlsx. Voila, now edit as much as you want. - (Optional) You might see an error if you don't have
openpyxlinstalled. In that case, run the following command to install the library.
pip install openpyxl- If you are done editing, run the following command to convert it back to browser datahub format.
python JSON_processing.py xlsx your_file.xlsx- Upload to the browser and see the change!
See the attached screenshots if you have any problems.
