Additional general settings that may be useful to speed up display for extremely
dense data e.g. next-gen sequencing reads: maxWindowToDraw, chromosomes (see below)
+20. type factorSource
+ This type is used for transcription factors on multiple cell lines. It displays
+ the transcription factor on the left label, and the cell lines the factor is
+ present in as one letter per cell line on the right. The main table format is
+ bed 15, the same as used for microarray expression. There is a second table
+ required that describes the cell lines. This is specified with the tag:
+ sourceTable <tableName>
+ Use the program hgBedsToBedExp to create the tables from a collection of
+ (simpler) bed's one for each txn factor/cell combination.

If something lacks a type field it needs to have custom
display routines. You can remove a track from the
browser by removing it from the .ra file and doing
a make update.
