## Overview
pyCirclize is a circular visualization python package implemented based on matplotlib.
This package is developed for the purpose of easily and beautifully plotting circular figure such as Circos Plot and Chord Diagram in Python.
In addition, useful genome and phylogenetic tree visualization methods for the bioinformatics field are also implemented.
pyCirclize was inspired by [circlize](https://github.com/jokergoo/circlize) and [pyCircos](https://github.com/ponnhide/pyCircos).
More detailed documentation is available [here](https://moshi4.github.io/pyCirclize/).
**Fig.1 pyCirclize example plot gallery**

## Code Example
### 1. Circos Plot
```python
from pycirclize import Circos
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(0)
# Initialize Circos sectors
sectors = {"A": 10, "B": 15, "C": 12, "D": 20, "E": 15}
circos = Circos(sectors, space=5)
for sector in circos.sectors:
# Plot sector name
sector.text(f"Sector: {sector.name}", r=110, size=15)
# Create x positions & random y values
x = np.arange(sector.start, sector.end) + 0.5
y = np.random.randint(0, 100, len(x))
# Plot lines
track1 = sector.add_track((80, 100), r_pad_ratio=0.1)
track1.xticks_by_interval(interval=1)
track1.axis()
track1.line(x, y)
# Plot points
track2 = sector.add_track((55, 75), r_pad_ratio=0.1)
track2.axis()
track2.scatter(x, y)
# Plot bars
track3 = sector.add_track((30, 50), r_pad_ratio=0.1)
track3.axis()
track3.bar(x, y)
# Plot links
circos.link(("A", 0, 3), ("B", 15, 12))
circos.link(("B", 0, 3), ("C", 7, 11), color="skyblue")
circos.link(("C", 2, 5), ("E", 15, 12), color="chocolate", direction=1)
circos.link(("D", 3, 5), ("D", 18, 15), color="lime", ec="black", lw=0.5, hatch="//", direction=2)
circos.link(("D", 8, 10), ("E", 2, 8), color="violet", ec="red", lw=1.0, ls="dashed")
circos.savefig("example01.png")
```
### 2. Circos Plot (Genomics)
```python
from pycirclize import Circos
from pycirclize.utils import fetch_genbank_by_accid
from pycirclize.parser import Genbank
# Download `NC_002483` E.coli plasmid genbank
gbk_fetch_data = fetch_genbank_by_accid("NC_002483")
gbk = Genbank(gbk_fetch_data)
# Initialize Circos instance with genome size
sectors = gbk.get_seqid2size()
space = 0 if len(sectors) == 1 else 2
circos = Circos(sectors, space=space)
circos.text(f"Escherichia coli K-12 plasmid F\n\n{gbk.name}", size=14)
seqid2features = gbk.get_seqid2features(feature_type="CDS")
for sector in circos.sectors:
# Setup track for features plot
f_cds_track = sector.add_track((95, 100))
f_cds_track.axis(fc="lightgrey", ec="none", alpha=0.5)
r_cds_track = sector.add_track((90, 95))
r_cds_track.axis(fc="lightgrey", ec="none", alpha=0.5)
# Plot forward/reverse strand CDS
features = seqid2features[sector.name]
for feature in features:
if feature.location.strand == 1:
f_cds_track.genomic_features(feature, plotstyle="arrow", fc="salmon", lw=0.5)
else:
r_cds_track.genomic_features(feature, plotstyle="arrow", fc="skyblue", lw=0.5)
# Plot 'gene' qualifier label if exists
labels, label_pos_list = [], []
for feature in features:
start = int(feature.location.start)
end = int(feature.location.end)
label_pos = (start + end) / 2
gene_name = feature.qualifiers.get("gene", [None])[0]
if gene_name is not None:
labels.append(gene_name)
label_pos_list.append(label_pos)
f_cds_track.xticks(label_pos_list, labels, label_size=6, label_orientation="vertical")
# Plot xticks (interval = 10 Kb)
r_cds_track.xticks_by_interval(
10000, outer=False, label_formatter=lambda v: f"{v/1000:.1f} Kb"
)
circos.savefig("example02.png")
```
### 3. Chord Diagram

for group_name, species_list in group_name2species_list.items():
color = group_name2color[group_name]
tv.set_node_line_props(species_list, color=color, apply_label_color=True)
# Plot figure & set legend on center
fig = circos.plotfig()
_ = circos.ax.legend(
handles=[Line2D([], [], label=n, color=c) for n, c in group_name2color.items()],
labelcolor=group_name2color.values(),
fontsize=6,

```
### 5. Radar Chart
```python
from pycirclize import Circos
import pandas as pd
# Create RPG jobs parameter dataframe (3 jobs, 7 parameters)

[90, 20, 95, 95, 30, 30, 80],
[60, 90, 20, 20, 100, 90, 50],
],
index=["Hero", "Warrior", "Wizard"],
columns=["HP", "MP", "ATK", "DEF", "SP.ATK", "SP.DEF", "SPD"],
)
# Initialize Circos instance for radar chart plot
circos = Circos.radar_chart(
df,
vmax=100,
marker_size=6,

# Plot figure & set legend on upper right
fig = circos.plotfig()
_ = circos.ax.legend(loc="upper right", fontsize=10)

```
## Not Implemented Features
List of features implemented in other Circos plotting tools but not yet implemented in pyCirclize.
I may implement them when I feel like it.
- Plot histogram
- Plot boxplot
- Plot violin
- Plot curved text
- Adjust overlap label position
