Hello, It is not clear exactly what you want to display and where. Text on the browser graph itself? To do this, download a snapshot of this as a PDF and then use an editor to add comments. Use the PDF button in the top blue navigation bar.
This advice goes along with the assumption that you have explored the other standard display options: 1) zooming down to base level 2) opening tracks to full 3) used the individual track controls to modify the default color coding and other display attributes (when available) 4) Fully utilized the BED name attribute and track name/description lines to communicate information in custom tracks If you want to have more human readable urls - that is not really possible - the url construction is not intended to be read by people, it is a set of instructions for the software. It would however be possible to create your own web site that had the genome browser embedded in a window, then to use other windows to communicate additional content. Some ideas. Please correct where there is misunderstanding about your question. More clarification of what exactly to display would be helpful, Jennifer ------------------------------------------------ Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ----- "Maximilian Haussler" <[email protected]> wrote: > From: "Maximilian Haussler" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 6:48:53 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific > Subject: [Genome] Custom track: Displaying one field, outlink with another? > > Dear gurus, > > I have a very common problem when displaying custom tracks: I am > linking out to a database that has ID fields in the URL but I want to > display more human-readable data on the genome browser. > > Apart from writing my own track type and adding it to my local > mirror, > is there any way how one could achieve this with customTracks alone? > (Do you have plans adding such a function to the custom tracks, there > are really many external databases that could be handled with one > additional bed field ?) > > Thanks in advance > Max > _______________________________________________ > Genome maillist - [email protected] > https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
