\title{Class "GenomeAxis", representing a genomic coordinate axis}
\description{Represents a genomic coordinate axis}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("GenomeAxis", ...)}.
}
\section{Slots}{
	 \describe{
    \item{\code{add53}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"}, indicating if 5 to 3 prime direction needs to be plotted}
    \item{\code{add35}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"}, indicating if
      3 to 5 prime direction needs to be plotted }
    \item{\code{dp}:}{Object of class \code{"DisplayPars"}, containing the display parameters such as size of the plot and color}
    \item{\code{littleTicks}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"},
      indicating if the genome axis should be dense for improved
      locating of regions of interest.}
