If the BED doesn't contain a "track" line, well, the UCSC sets the default. I've written my own BED displayer to override the default galaxy one. Nevertheless it would be interesting to have some track attributes modifiable with cgi variables Thanks d > You are correct, you can not change track names after the track is > loaded into UCSC. I can change track name if I add it manually, would it be useful to add a way to override track names specified in a remote file? > I suspect you will get an answer from galaxy about > how to manage track parameters from there. > I hope so!
