Yes, the blur is due to image rendering. It's certainly possible to fix, e.g. we could switch to a histogram built of DIV elements, when you get to base resolution. (The image is mainly useful for providing single-pixel resolution of WIG tracks, which is more important when zoomed-out.) I suspect that with the vertical ruler (which is already on our list, but this kind of feedback is invaluable in bumping it up towards the top) the blurriness might be less of a critical problem, because the width of the blur is actually small compared to the width of a base (but without the ruler, the blur does make it harder to line up to individual bases by eye).

The web browsers recently implemented the blurry scaling (because it looks nice in some contexts, though not in our case), and there was a backlash against it. Now they're implementing a switch to turn it off; it'll be in firefox 3.6. A similar switch is also apparently implemented in internet explorer 7; something similar will probably also get implemented in Safari/Chrome if it hasn't been already. Figuring out the mechanism in all the different browsers and setting it appropriately in JBrowse is definitely on the to-do list. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/Image-rendering https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423756 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484150 >>> * Is there any way to have a vertical 'ruler' to see exactly what >>> base aligns with the tracks below? This is also something we've talked about a bit; I've created ticket #44 for this. http://jbrowse.lighthouseapp.com/projects/23792-jbrowse/tickets/44-vertical-ruler Mitch |

Thanks Ian. It does seem possible that the ruler would render the blurriness just a minor annoyance and not a functional limitation; it's hard to tell with my current view.
