exportTracks {Gviz} | R Documentation

## Export GenomeGraph tracks to a annotation file representation.

### Description

This function is still a bit experimental. So far only BED export is supported.

### Usage

    exportTracks(tracks, range, chromosome, file)

### Arguments

`tracks` | A list of annotation track objects to be exported into a single BED file.
`range` | A numeric vector or length 2. The genomic range to display when opening the file in a browser.
`chromosome` | The chromosome to display when opening the file in a browser.
`file` | Character, the path to the file to write into.

### Details

FIXME: Need to support WIG exports as well...

### Value

The function is called for its side effect of writing to a file.

    at <- AnnotationTrack(start=seq(1,10), width=1, chromosome="chr1")
    exportTracks(list(at), range=c(1, 10), chromosome="chr1",
                 file=paste0(tempfile(),".bed"))
