The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').
Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl
Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.
The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.

The output is to the specified graphics device.
The results can be output in one of several formats by using the command-line qualifier -graph xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required device. Support depends on the availability of third-party software packages.
The device names that output to a file are: ps (postscript), cps (colourps), png, gif, pdf, svg, hpgl, hp7470, hp7580, das, data.
The other available device names are: meta, x11 (xwindows), tek (tek4107t), tekt (tektronix), xterm, text.
Output can be turned off by specifying none (null).
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/GraphicsDevices.html for further information on supported devices.
EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.
To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
% embossdata -showall
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:
% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat
Users can provide their own data files in their own directories. Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
The directories are searched in the following order:

pepwindow can use any of the "Nakai et al." database of amino acid parameters - these used to be in a database called "NAKAI" but are now in one called "AAINDEX". EMBOSS has a program aaindexextract that takes data from this database and makes it available for pepwindow.
1. FTP the AAINDEX database from Japan:
ftp://ftp.genome.ad.jp/pub/db/community/aaindex/aaindex1
2. Run aaindexextract with the aaindex1 file as input (or ask whoever installs EMBOSS to run it)
3. Run pepwindow with -datafile specifying the name of whatever "AAINDEX" datafile you wish to use. (Use embossdata -showall to see your available "AAINDEX" data file names.)
Kyte, J. and Doolittle, R.F. A simple method for displaying the hydropathic character of a protein J. Mol. Biol. 157, 105-132 (1982)
In calculating hydropathy, pepwindow can use any of the amino acid parameters from the database of "Nakai et al." which are now included in the database AAINDEX. Before running pepwindow, you must first extract the required data files from AAINDEX (see "Data Files" section).
