Recipes

Practical combinations of options and track types, with rendered output so you can see what the recipe actually produces.

Autoscale + overlay + highlight

• Enable global autoscaling with gf.autoscale(True).
• Put autoscale_group on the overlay itself when the overlay should sync with nearby signal panels.
• Mark regions with gf.highlight(...) and gf.highlight_style(...).

Use this when you want one overlay panel to sit beside ordinary signal tracks without silently drifting onto a different y-scale.

Theme + labels + TOML round-trip

• Apply publication defaults with theme="publication".
• Control labels with shorthand kwargs (title, title_color, title_location).
• Save and reload figure definitions with TOML.

Autocolor + color groups

• Enable auto palette assignment with gf.autocolor().
• Use color_group so related tracks share one color.

gf = GenomicFigure(theme="publication")
gf.autocolor()
gf.bed("THP1_peaks.bigBed", title="THP1 peaks", color_group="THP1")
gf.bigwig("THP1_signal.bw", title="THP1 signal", color_group="THP1")
gf.bed("K562_peaks.bigBed", title="K562 peaks", color_group="K562")
gf.bigwig("K562_signal.bw", title="K562 signal", color_group="K562")

Track-style comparisons

• Compare BigWig styles (fill, fragment, scatter, std).
• Compare BED and narrowPeak interval behavior.

Scripts:

• examples/tracks/01_bigwig_styles.py
• examples/tracks/02_bed_and_narrowpeak.py

More rendered runnable outputs, including quickstart, links/hline/vline, and gene-label examples, are collected on Example Coverage.
