\title{Creates an object of class BaseTrack}
\description{
Creates an object of class BaseTrack, which can represent many datasets containing a base given by a vector of positions and a corresponding vector with values for these base positions
}
\usage{
makeBaseTrack(base, value, strand, trackOverlay, dp = NULL)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{base}{Numeric vector of base positions}
  \item{value}{Numeric vector with values for these base positions}
  \item{strand}{Character either + or - representing the strand}
  \item{trackOverlay}{Object of class TrackOverlay, used when overlays are needed to be drawn}
  \item{dp}{Object of class DisplayPars representing the display parameters of the plot}
}
\value{
Object of class BaseTrack
}
