Description
The 'add beads' options makes it possible to create a filled circle
linked to each base, the size of which can be determined
by the tags appended to this base. The circle
(or bead) will also be tagged with this tag. This makes it possible to
change the color of the beads depending on how the base was tagged.
The beads can be used to mark differently tagged bases by providing a
differently colored backgound. For mono printouts, the different size
of bead can be used to indicated different tags. In the latter case it
is best to hide the bases ('Edit' menu) before printing.
