VennPainter是一个程序，通过使用Qt C++框架来描绘独特和共享的基因列表集并生成维恩图。该软件可生成经典文氏图、爱德华文氏图和嵌套文氏图，并允许在图形模式下生成8组，仅在数据处理模式下生成31组。相比之下，以前的程序产生经典文氏图和爱德华兹文氏图，最多允许六组。该软件具有用户友好的功能，可在Windows、Linux和Mac OS上运行，其图形界面不要求用户具有编程技能。由于可缩放矢量图形输出，用户可以修改多达八个数据集的图表内容。VennPainter可以提供垂直，水平和矩阵格式的输出结果，这有助于根据需要共享数据集，以进一步识别候选基因。用户可以通过点击图表上的数字从共享集合中获取基因列表。因此，VennPainter是一个易于使用，高效，跨平台和功能强大的程序，为识别候选基因和可视化比较分析中基因或基因家族之间的关系提供了更全面的工具。
VennPainter is a program for depicting unique and shared sets of genes lists and generating Venn diagrams, by using the Qt C++ framework. The software produces Classic Venn, Edwards’ Venn and Nested Venn diagrams and allows for eight sets in a graph mode and 31 sets in data processing mode only. In comparison, previous programs produce Classic Venn and Edwards’ Venn diagrams and allow for a maximum of six sets. The software incorporates user-friendly features and works in Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Its graphical interface does not require a user to have programing skills. Users can modify diagram content for up to eight datasets because of the Scalable Vector Graphics output. VennPainter can provide output results in vertical, horizontal and matrix formats, which facilitates sharing datasets as required for further identification of candidate genes. Users can obtain gene lists from shared sets by clicking the numbers on the diagram. Thus, VennPainter is an easy-to-use, highly efficient, cross-platform and powerful program that provides a more comprehensive tool for identifying candidate genes and visualizing the relationships among genes or gene families in comparative analysis.
