Hints

If your data file contains order, size and/or color information for rows and/or columns please check off the appropriate options in the upload form. If you forget to check off the options, you'll probably get an error about duplicate column names. If you have set these options, make sure that your data file has the required information.

If the error refers to -ribbon_variable, then you have ratio layout on (see data samples section to read about data format requirements.

Before uploading a data file, check the samples gallery to make sure that your data format is compatible.

• File must be plain text.
• Data values must be non-negative integers. If all are <1, multiply them by a fixed factor.
• Data must be space-separated (one or more tab or space, which will be collapsed).
• No two rows or columns may have the same name.
• Column and row names must begin with a letter (e.g. 'A', 'A0', 'A-0') and can only contain letters, numbers and _. No punctuation! No double underscores.
• Maximum number of rows × columns is 30 × 30. To visualize larger tables email me (name, institution, use case) and I'll provide you with an access code to remove this restriction. Alternatively, you can install Circos and run the tableviewer scripts without limitations.
• If you are using order, size and color rows/columns in combination they must appear in that order.

If you do not adhere to these rules, expect errors.
