Hi,

I am thinking of writing a plugin that reformats a tiling array biossay set to 
GFF (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/formats/GFF/GFF_Spec.shtml) and WIG 
format 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html). It seems the best way 
would be to build an Export plugin. I have a had a look at the the example 
plugins and it makes sense so far but I have some 
questions. Any help or pointers to relevant docs or example/existing code would 
great!

1) For each reporter there is an chromosome start and stop (imported as part of 
the annotations for the reporter) and I will need to use this to construct the 
file. How can I access reporter 
information from a plugin?
2) Is it possible to set a custom Type (i.e non BASE) of the exported file so 
it can be filtered e.g. GFF or WIG under the 'Files and directories' section ?
3) With an exported file is there a method to add comments to the 'description' 
property? Can the text in these comments be hyperlinked?
4) Is it possible to add a custom 'Action' in 'Files and directories' so that 
the output could exported directly to another database or uploaded to a genome 
browser?
        
Thanks,

Steve
