I understand that to make each item in a custom track have its own
user-determined color (e.g., SNPs color-coded by minor allele frequency) one
needs to set itemRgb to on. But is it 'itemRgb=on', or must it have quotes
and/or capitalization as in itemRgb="On" ?
Also since color is the 5th (or so) possible BED field, I understand that
the other fields need to be filled in. But sometimes there is no data or no
sense in these fields (such as strand +/-). Is it correct that you just put
in some place-holding values here?
If that's the case, then I'd suggest a modification to the BED specs, so
that fields on doesn't want to use could be specified by * or something
rather than by guessing at what would hold the places but not affect the
track in an unwanted way.
Thanks.
Ken
