Accessing the Genome Browser Programmatically Part 3 – Controlling the Genome Browser Image

The previous parts of this series ( part 1 and part 2 ) focused on how to use the Genome Browser to obtain data, and for this third and final post we’re gonna divert from that theme and talk about how to control the track image itself. Note: We now have an API which can also perform many of these functions. Standard procedure for obtaining images of the browser is to configure the view exactly as you want, and then use the “View->PDF/PS” option in the menu bar in order to download a PDF or PostScript of your image.
