Alignoth: Create portable alignment plots from bam files

A tool for creating alignment plots from bam files. The generated vega-lite plots are written to stdout per default. An example of a generated plot can be seen here. The name alignoth is derived from the visualized alignments combined with the star alioth (usage of vega plots).

Alignoth supports an interactive mode that can be activated by simply executing it without any arguments (i.e. alignoth). This launches a wizard that guides you through selecting input files, defining the region of interest, and choosing between an interactive HTML output or a Vega-Lite specification.
