OK so let's go for a 1 line summarization of the seqinfo.
Vince is that OK if we keep this at the bottom of the object?
That way it will always be visible, even when the object requires
more than 1 screen to display (e.g. when it has a lot of metadata
cols). Will look something like:

  > gr
  GRanges with 3 ranges and 0 metadata columns:
        seqnames               ranges strand
           <Rle>            <IRanges>  <Rle>
    [1]    chr14 [19069583, 19069654]      +
    [2]    chr14 [19363738, 19363809]      +
    [3]    chr14 [19363755, 19363826]      -
    [4]    chr14 [19369799, 19369870]      +
seqinfo: 60 seqlevels (2 circular) on 2 genomes (hg19, mm10); no seqlengths

Thanks,
H.

I'm in favor of this display. The seqinfo output at the bottom has always
been annoying (over-emphasized).


the fact that the lengths are 'NA' can be a helpful prompt to do something
about it, e.g., add seqinfo when inputting the data. Also they are helpful
when one is told that seqlengths are incompatible during, e.g.,
findOverlaps. But I like the idea of less but more informative display of
seqinfo, along the lines suggested by Vince.

  Instead of printing out multiple lines of a table that is rarely of

hg19:chr1  hg19:chr2 ...

Not sure what condensed notation would be useful for circularity.


I don't know either. I'm worried that this would make the seqinfo
stuff look like a named vector and that the user would expect
hg19:chr1, hg19:chr2, etc... to be valid names.

With the table-like layout, some screen real estate can always be
saved by printing less lines:


  What I had in mind was


     > gr
    GRanges with 3 ranges and 0 metadata columns:

         genome: hg19

           seqnames               ranges strand

      [4]    chr14 [19369799, 19369870]      +



you could then probably dispense with the seqlengths.  i have
never found them too useful except as a key to the  genome.

if there are multiple genomes, we have something like

genomes: hg19, mm9

the point is to make it prominent, particularly at a time of transition.

I agree that the exact content of the seqinfo table itself is rarely
of interest so printing only 3 or 4 lines is OK. IMO it's important
to make the user aware of the existence of this hidden table and to
display it like what it really is (i.e. a table). Also displaying the
column names is a well established tradition and serves the purpose
of providing a quick summary of the accessors that are available to
access those fields.
