People Group Section

The configuration section for a people group follows the general INI format. Its name must be peopleGroup - this will indicate that it is a people group configuration section. This configuration section must properly describe a people groups used by one study. This is an optional section.

Example Configuration

[peopleGroup]
selectedPeopleGroupValues = status

status.name = Affected Status
status.domain = affected:affected:#e35252,
    unaffected:unaffected:#ffffff
status.default = unspecified:unspecified:#aaaaaa
status.source = status

[peopleGroup]

Every defined people group represents a group of people based on the values in the pedigree file column <people group id>.source. The properties for this section are explained below.

selectedPeopleGroupValues

selectedPeopleGroupValues = <comma-separated list of people group ids>

A comma-separated list of selected people groups. If this property is missing then all defined people groups in this section are selected.

<people group id>.id

<people group id>.id = <people group identifier>

Identifier of the people group. Default value is <people group id> from the people group property name.

<people group id>.name

<people group id>.name = <people group name>

Indicates the display name of the people group.

<people group id>.domain

<people group id>.domain = <<<people group element id>:<people group element name>:<people group element color>>,<...>>

The domain property maps display names and colors to the set of values present in the <people group id>.source column in the pedigree file. These are the elements of each mapping:

  • <people group element id> selects the value from the column.

  • <people group element name> indicates the display name of the people group element.

  • <people group element color> indicates the display color of the people group element.

<people group id>.default

<people group id>.default = <<<people group element id>:<people group element name>:people group element color>>

This property is defined in the same way as a single mapping from the <people group id>.domain property. It is applied to any value in the column from the pedigree file for which there is no mapping defined in the <people group id>.domain property.

<people group id>.source

<people group id>.source = <source of people group>

This property defines the source of the people group. This source is one of the columns from the pedigree file.
