# manytracks

A small JBrowse plugin to initialize many tracks given an array of URLs to make long redundant track configs less redundant!

## Example configuation

    [manytracks.config]

    type=JBrowse/View/Track/Wiggle/XYPlot

    storeClass=JBrowse/Store/SeqFeature/BigWig

    urlTemplates+=ex1.bw

    urlTemplates+=ex2.bw

    

    [manytracks.config_band]

    variance_band=true

    type=JBrowse/View/Track/Wiggle/XYPlot

    storeClass=JBrowse/Store/SeqFeature/BigWig

    urlTemplates+=ex1.bw

    urlTemplates+=ex2.bw

The plugin will initiate a track for each file in the array of files in `urlTemplates`. This generally works best with a long list of simple track types like BAM, VCF.gz, or BigWig

## Screenshot
