BaseLinearDisplay

Auto-generated from the config schema in the source — see the config guide for concepts. Built into JBrowse core. View source.

Shared base config for linear displays — its slots (height, fetchSizeLimit) are common to all of them. The GPU stack's LinearCanvasBaseDisplay config extends it, and third-party plugins extend it too. filter is not here: only the displays that read it declare it, featureFilterConfigSchema or an extension of it. Nor is mouseover, which a display declares only where its hover reads it.

Overview

BaseLinearDisplay - Identifier

Every BaseLinearDisplay has a unique displayId, a required top-level field that identifies it (not one of the config slots below).

Config slots

BaseLinearDisplay is a shared base schema, not a type you name in a config. Set these slots on one of the configs under Extended by above, each of which lists them as inherited and shows the shape in an example. Slot types (fileLocation, frozen, ...) are explained in the config slot types reference. Slots a base configuration contributes are listed here too, so this table is the whole surface.

SlotDescription
height
number = 100		default height for the track
fetchSizeLimit
number = 1000000		maximum data to attempt to download for a given track, used if adapter doesn't specify one

forceLoad
boolean = false		Declarative equivalent of the "Force load" button on the "too much data" banner: when true the display always renders, however large the region or dense the features. Off by default (the gate guards against huge downloads). Set it on a view no one can interact with — an embedded / notebook view, or a screenshot — where the region is known and you want it drawn without a click.
