Same Y scale for different tracks?

[albertoriva]

Is it possible to tell JBrowse that two (or more) bigwig tracks should use the same Y scale? This is very useful when comparing the height of ChIP-seq or ATAC-seq peaks.

Thank you!

this would indeed be a good feature but we don't currently have this #1809

you can manually set the Y scale to be the same for each track using the track menu in the current code but making it automatic would be great

Thank you for your reply! Yes, it would be great to have this feature and it's pretty much essential for me: I have pipelines that generate track hubs automatically (sometimes with tens of tracks) and I wouldn't be able to set the scale manually for all of them - also because the appropriate scale changes depending on what region is being displayed. As far as I know, the WashU browser is the only one that has this feature. I'll follow the other discussion, thank you! Alberto

hello @albertoriva some development on a "multibigwig" track has started here. if you have any interest in testing it out and have any questions or feedback, the current branch is here #3043

it has the ability to "add multiple bigwig tracks to a selection" in the track selector, which creates a shopping cart, and then you can create a multibigwig from items in the shopping cart
