genehunter man page (version 1.1, dec 1996)


LETTERS

Summary: controls allele display in Postscript output
Argument: < 'on' or 'off' >
Default: displays the current setting

When the 'haplotype' and 'postscript' options are both turned on, the 'scan' command produces postscript pedigree drawings with the most likely haplotypes of original individuals displayed. If 'letters' is on, these haplotypes will be drawn as letters representing the founder chromosome inherited rather than the numeric genotypes themselves. Upon startup of Genehunter, 'letters' is off and these drawings will display the actual alleles inherited.
