Each element can be shown in different ways. A sequence, for
example, can be shown as linear, circular, text etc.
In the following example, you want to see a sequence in a circular view. If the sequence is already open in a view, you can change the view to a circular view:
Click Show As Circular () at the lower left part of the view
The buttons used for switching views are shown in figure 2.3).
Figure 2.3: The buttons shown at the bottom of a view of a nucleotide sequence. You can click the buttons to change the view to e.g. a circular view or a history view.
If the sequence is already open in a linear view (), and you wish to see both a circular and a linear view, you can split the views very easily:
Press Ctrl ( on Mac) while you | Click Show As Circular () at the lower left part of the view
This will open a split view with a linear view at the bottom and a circular view at the top (see 11.5).
