# ktImportXML(1)

explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts

## NAME

ktImportXML - explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts

## DESCRIPTION

-

  Creates a Krona chart from xml data describing each node and how the chart should look.

-

  ktImportXML \[options\] \<XML\_file\>

- XML\_file

  A file containing XML tags that specify chart attributes and describe the node hierarchy. An XML header is not necessary. For a complete description of XML tags, see: https://sourceforge.net/p/krona/wiki/KronaTools/

-

  - \[-o \<string\>\]

  Output file name. \[Default: 'xml.krona.html'\]

- \[-u \<string\>\]

  URL of Krona resources to use instead of bundling them with the chart (e.g. "http://krona.sourceforge.net"). Reduces size of charts and allows updates, though charts will not work without access to this URL.
