An integer scalar with the genomic start coordinates for
the gene model range.
end
An integer scalar with the genomic end coordinates for
the gene model range.
biomart
An optional Mart object
providing access to the EBI Biomart webservice. As default the
appropriate Ensembl data source is selected based on the provided
genome and chromosome.
strand
Character scalar, the strand for which to fetch gene
information from Biomart. One in +, -, or +-.
chromosome
The chromosome on which the track's genomic ranges
are defined. A valid UCSC chromosome identifier. Please note that at
this stage only syntactic checking takes place, i.e., the argument
value needs to be a single integer, numeric character or a character
of the form chrx, where x may be any possible
string. The user has to make sure that the respective chromosome is
indeed defined for the the track's genome.
genome
The genome on which the track's ranges are
defined. Usually this is a valid UCSC genome identifier, however
this is not being formally checked at this point. If no mapping from
genome to Biomart Ensembl data source is possible, the
biomart argument needs to be provided by the user.
stacking
The stacking type for overlapping items of the
track. One in c(hide, dense, squish, pack,full). Currently,
only hide (don't show the track items, squish (make best use of the
available space) and dense (no stacking at all) are implemented.
filters
A list of additional filters to be applied in the
Biomart query. See getBM for details.
featureMap
Named character vector to map between the fields in
the Biomart data base and the features as they are used to construct
the track.
name
Character scalar of the track's name used in the title
panel when plotting.
symbol,transcript,gene,entrez
Character vector giving one or
several gene symbols, Ensembl transcript identifiers, Ensembl gene
identifiers, or ENTREZ gene identifiers, respectively. The genomic
locus of their gene model will be fetch from Biomart instead of
providing explicit start and end coordinates.
...
Additional items which will all be interpreted as further
display parameters. See settings and the "Display
Parameters" section below for details.
Details
A track containing all gene models in a particular region as fetched
from EBI's Biomart service. Usually the user does not have to take
care of the Biomart connection, which will be established
automatically based on the provided genome and chromosome
information. However, for full flexibility a valid
Mart object may be passed on to the
constructor. Please note that this assumes a connection to one of the
Ensembl gene data sources, mapping the available query data back to
the internal object slots.

be unqiue.

replacement value has to be a character vector of appropriate

factor for the axis annotation. Defaults to NULL, in
which case it is computed based on the available space.

width in pixels to display. All ranges are expanded to this
size in order to avoid rendering issues. See collapsing
for details.
showAxis=TRUE: Boolean controlling whether to
plot a y axis (only applies to track types where axes are
implemented).
showTitle=TRUE: Boolean controlling whether to
plot a title panel. Although this can be set individually
for each track, in multi-track plots as created by
plotTracks there will still be an empty
placeholder in case any of the other tracks include a title.
The same holds true for axes. Note that the the title panel
background color could be set to transparent in order to
completely hide it.

number of vertical grid lines, see panel.grid
for details.
