Hi Suiyuan, I believe you are asking how to make the description title disappear if there are no items in a custom track for a particular position. While it is not possible to do this on a per-position basis, you can do this on a chromosome-by-chromosome basis. You can add "chromosomes=chr3,chr4" to the track line to have the track only display on the chromosomes 3 and 4 but not any of the other chromosomes. You can specify as many chromosomes as you would like to the track line.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further questions.
