makeBaseTrack: Creates an object of class BaseTrack

Description

Creates an object of class BaseTrack, which can represent many datasets containing a base given by a vector of positions and a corresponding vector with values for these base positions

Usage

makeBaseTrack(base, value, strand, trackOverlay, dp = NULL)

Arguments

base

Numeric vector of base positions

value

Numeric vector with values for these base positions

strand

Character either + or - representing the strand

trackOverlay

Object of class TrackOverlay, used when overlays are needed to be drawn

Object of class DisplayPars representing the display parameters of the plot

Value

Object of class BaseTrack
