class trackhub.SuperTrack(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: BaseTrack

Represents a Super track. Subclasses Track, and adds some extras.

Super tracks are container tracks (folders) that group tracks. They are used to control visualization of a set of related data.

Eventually, you’ll need to make a trackdb.TrackDb instance and add this supertrack to it with that instance’s add_tracks() method.

See BaseTrack for details on arguments.

Methods

__init__(*args, **kwargs)	Represents a Super track.
add_child(child)	Adds self as parent to child, and then adds child.
add_params(**kw)	Add [possibly many] parameters to the track.
add_parent(parent)	Adds self as child of parent, then adds parent.
add_subgroups(subgroups)	Update the subgroups for this track.
add_trackdb(trackdb)	Attach this track to a parent TrackDb object.
add_tracks(*args)	Add one or more tracks.
leaves(cls[, level, intermediate])	Returns an iterator of the HubComponent leaves that are of class cls.
makedirs(fn)
remove_params(*args)	Remove [possibly many] parameters from the track.
render([staging])	Renders the object to file, returning a list of created files.
root([cls, level])	Returns the top-most HubComponent in the hierarchy.
validate()	Runs validation, raising exceptions as needed.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Represents a Super track. Subclasses Track, and adds some extras.

Super tracks are container tracks (folders) that group tracks. They are used to control visualization of a set of related data.

Eventually, you’ll need to make a trackdb.TrackDb instance and add this supertrack to it with that instance’s add_tracks() method.

See BaseTrack for details on arguments.

add_child(child)

Adds self as parent to child, and then adds child.

add_params(**kw)

Add [possibly many] parameters to the track.

Parameters will be checked against known UCSC parameters and their supported formats.

E.g.:

add_params(color='128,0,0', visibility='dense')

add_parent(parent)

Adds self as child of parent, then adds parent.

add_subgroups(subgroups)

Update the subgroups for this track.

Note that in contrast to CompositeTrack(), which takes a list of SubGroupDefinition objects representing the allowed subgroups, this method takes a single dictionary indicating the particular subgroups for this track.

Parameters

subgroups (dict) – Dictionary of subgroups, e.g., {‘celltype’: ‘K562’, ‘treatment’: ‘a’}. Each key must match a SubGroupDefinition name in the composite’s subgroups list. Each value must match a key in that SubGroupDefinition.mapping dictionary.

add_trackdb(trackdb)

Attach this track to a parent TrackDb object.

add_tracks(*args)

Add one or more tracks.

Parameters

args (Track or iterable of Tracks) –

leaves(cls, level=0, intermediate=False)

Returns an iterator of the HubComponent leaves that are of class cls.

If intermediate is True, then return any intermediate classes as well.

remove_params(*args)

Remove [possibly many] parameters from the track.

E.g.:

remove_params('color', 'visibility')

render(staging=None)

Renders the object to file, returning a list of created files.

Calls validation code, and, as long as each child is also a subclass of HubComponent, the rendering is recursive.

root(cls=None, level=0)

Returns the top-most HubComponent in the hierarchy.

If cls is not None, then return the top-most attribute HubComponent that is an instance of class cls.

For a fully-constructed track hub (and cls=None), this should return a a Hub object for every component in the hierarchy.

validate()

Runs validation, raising exceptions as needed. Must be overridden by subclass.
