Hello ,

I have located the code for every session except Session 5. Could you please provide the code for Session 5 or tell me where I can find it?

Hi, 

Session 5 of the course


asks you to replicate this image

This image and config is bundled with the Circos distribution as a way to test that your installation is working.

You'll find all the data and conf files in example/

You have defined this parameter twice in the root of the config (i.e., not inside a <block>...</block>). 

Check your config. 

If you've used <<include FILE>> then it might be that the parameter is defined in both the the included file.

e.g.

svg_font_scale = 1
<<include file.conf>>

#file.conf
...
svg_font_scale =1
