+    """Implementation of multilayered visualizations for enhanced graphical
+       representation of functional analysis data. It combines and integrates
+       omics data derived from expression and functional annotation enrichment
+       analyses. Its plotting functions have been developed with an
+       hierarchical structure in mind: starting from a general overview to
+       identify the most enriched categories (modified bar plot, bubble plot)
+       to a more detailed one displaying different types of relevant
+       information for the molecules in a given set of categories
+       (circle plot, chord plot, cluster plot, Venn diagram, heatmap)."""
