[Genome] custom coloring a bedGraph track?

[Ann Zweig]

Hello Ginger,

	First let me apologize for taking so long to answer your question; 
somehow it must have fallen through the cracks and I am sorry.  I hope 
by now you have found the answer or a suitable work-around, but in case 
you haven't let me answer here.

	You can color elements in a bedGraph track based on the score value 
(but not, as you have shown below) based on a separate field.  What you 
can do is choose the color scheme, then ask that the elements be shaded 
in that color scheme based on their score (or dataValue).  Perhaps this 
will be useful to you.

	You can read about how to enable this coloring in "Example 3" on this 
page:

	Please let us know if you have more questions.

Regards,
