This section describes the basic operations for drawing a circular genome map.

Basic operation flow

• Load the entire genome sequence to draw a circular genome map into the main current directory.
• 
• At this time, the sequence to be loaded is preferably an annotated base sequence such as GenBank / EMBL.
• Forces circular drawing even if the annotation is not Circular.
• A circular genome map of only the base sequence can be drawn, but no features are displayed.

Rough steps of the operation

1. Click "Window-> Circular Genome Map…" from the menu or click the Circular Genome Map button on the button toolbox.
2. 
3. A confirmation message "Show Circular Genome Map?" Is displayed.
4. 
5. Click "Yes (Y)"
6. The circular genome map drawing dialog is displayed.
7. 
8. Click Add to add lanes one by one.
9. 
10. Click Set.
11. The feature lane is added to the lane list.
12. Click Draw.
13. A circular genome map with one default feature lane is displayed.
14. 
15. Use the print-related buttons at the bottom of the dialog to execute printing.
16. The circular genome map is output to a default printer or a file in the selected image format.
