[Gmod-help] Balloon Popups

[Scott Cain]

Hi Bert,

I cc'ed this to the GBrowse mailing list, since I assume you are
asking about balloons in the context of GBrowse.

You can put any html you want in a balloon, so you can put img
src="..." in there as well.  You have access to the same built in
variables that you get when building links or other dynamically
generated content, like $name, $description, $start, and $end.  You
can also use a perl callback to dynamically build the html string you
need if it is more complicated.  If you haven't already done so, I
suggest you look at the GBrowse tutorial as a start.  The section

  http://gmod.org/gbrowse-cgi/tutorial/tutorial.html#multiple_alignments

has an example perl callback.  In your case, you'd want a callback
that built and returned an html string.

Scott
