Multiqc: Custom content type: image

[lucacozzuto]

Dear all, I would like to have an easy way to embed single picture inside the report as a custom content. Sometimes is nice to add a dendrogram, an heatmap or the results of the clustering.

I would love to have a file where I can specify the name of the image and some description for the equivalent section.

Thanks

It should be possible to implement this as a content type with custom content.

I'm pleased to say that MultiQC now support images through custom content! See https://multiqc.info/docs/#images

As of MultiQC v1.7, you can import custom images into your MultiQC reports.
Simply add _mqc to the end of the filename for .png, .jpg or .jpeg files, for example:
my_image_file_mqc.png or summmary_diagram.jpeg.

Images will be embedded within the HTML file, so will be self contained.
Note that this means that it's very possible to make the HTML file very very large if abused!

The report section name and description will be automatically based on the filename.

If you can give it a whirl, that'd be great - it could be a little buggy still...
