But it needs Dist1D input and that seems to be produced by qiime stats prep-alpha-distribution which is deprecated. I can also directly produce rainplots with qiime stats alpha-group-significance but that’s deprecated too. So I’m trying to find how to produce a Dist1D artifact with a non-deprecated action, and having trouble finding that in the documentation.
There’s nothing wrong with using the prep method or the pipeline you list, but the intention was to move those over to diversity. There just never ended up being time to make that transition happen.
Please do feel free to use them as is, there’s nothing wrong with them, but they may be replaced someday with a more obvious command.
