Hello Peter, This sounds possible. Just run each step as you would normally (construct the appropriate urls or use an auto-web interface scripting utility) in your program. The Sessions feature may be of interest to you to create the master "background" of track settings. For images, the PostScript/PDF tool is the best option for detail display/clarity.
Please note our usage limit: 1 hit every 15 seconds & no more than 5,000 hits per day There are many details in the Help sections for creating urls to do tasks (such as loading custom tracks). These are good places to start to gather information: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#Sessions http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdisplay.html#display3 (Resetting ....) http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQlink Thanks, Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group Peter Saffrey wrote: > I would like to generate snapshots of the UCSC browser.
