Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

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

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

`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
`dp`	Object of class DisplayPars representing the display parameters of the plot

Object of class BaseTrack
