Draw indicator lines:
-
at y=0.0: Select the "ON" setting to display a line marking the 0.0
position on the graph (default is "OFF").
-
at y= : Select the "ON" setting to display a line on the graph at
the specified numerical value (defaults are "0" and "OFF"). This line can be
used to mark a significant threshold on the graph.
When you have finished making your configuration changes, click the Apply button to preview

+Annotation track display modes
+
+Each annotation track within the window may have up to five display modes:
+
+
+ -
+ Hide: the track is not displayed at all. To hide all the annotation tracks, click
+ the hide all button. This mode is useful for restricting the display to only those tracks
+ in which you are interested. For example, someone who is not interested in SNPs or mouse synteny
+ may want to hide these tracks to reduce track clutter and improve speed. There are a few
+ annotation tracks that pertain only to one specific chromosome, e.g. Sanger22, Rosetta. In these
+ cases, the track and its associated controller will be hidden automatically when the track window
+ is not open to the relevant chromosome.
+ -
+ Dense: the track is displayed with all features collapsed into a single line.
+ This mode is useful for reducing the amount of space used by a track when you don't need
+ individual line item details or when you just want to get an overall view of an annotation. For
+ example, by opening an entire chromosome and setting the RefSeq Genes track to dense, you can get
+ a feel for the known gene density of the chromosome without displaying excessive detail.
+
+
+ -
+ Full: the track is displayed with each annotation feature on a separate line. It
+ is recommended that you use this option sparingly, due to the large number of individual track
+ items that may potentially align at the selected position. For example, hundreds of ESTs might
+ align with a specified gene. When the number of lines within a requested track location exceeds
+ 250, the track automatically defaults to a more tightly-packed display mode. In this situation,
+ you can restore the track display to full mode by narrowing the chromosomal range displayed or by
+ using a track filter to reduce the number of items displayed. On tracks that contain only hide,
+ dense, and full modes, you can toggle between full and dense display modes by clicking on the
+ track's center label.
+
+
+ -
+ Squish: the track is displayed with each annotation feature shown separately, but
+ at 50% the height of full mode. Features are unlabeled, and more than one may be drawn on the same
+ line. This mode is useful for reducing the amount of space used by a track when you want to view a
+ large number of individual features and get an overall view of an annotation. It is particularly
+ good for displaying tracks in which a large number of features align to a particular section of a
+ chromosome, e.g. EST tracks.
+
+
+ -
+ Pack: the track is displayed with each annotation feature shown separately and
+ labeled, but not necessarily displayed on a separate line. This mode is useful for reducing the
+ amount of space used by a track when you want to view the large number of individual features
+ allowed by squish mode, but need the labeling and display size provided by full mode. When the
+ number of lines within the requested track location exceeds 250, the track automatically defaults
+ to squish display mode. In this situation, you can restore the track display to pack mode by
+ narrowing the chromosomal range displayed or by using a track filter to reduce the number of items
+ displayed. To toggle between pack and full display modes, click on the track's center label.
