Output of make_tracks_file:

# title of track (plotted on the right side)
title =
# height of track in cm (ignored if the track is overlay on top the previous track)
height = 2
# if you want to plot the track upside-down:
# orientation = inverted
# if you want to plot the track on top of the previous track. Options are 'yes' or 'share-y'.
# For the 'share-y' option the y axis values is shared between this plot and the overlay plot.
# Otherwise, each plot use its own scale
#overlay_previous = yes

# color of the lines
color = black
# To use transparency, you can use alpha
# default is 1
# alpha = 0.5
# the default for min_value and max_value is 'auto' which means that the scale will go
# roughly from the minimum value found in the region plotted to the maximum value found.
min_value = 0
#max_value = auto
# line width:
# line_width = 0.5
# options for line_style are 'solid', 'dashed', 'dotted', and 'dashdot'

# set show_data_range to false to hide the text on the upper-left showing the data range
