  trackName,
  annotationData,
  color = "darkGrey",
  displayMode = "SQUISHED",
  trackHeight = 50,
  expandedRowHeight = 30,
  squishedRowHeight = 15,
  maxRows = 500,
  searchable = FALSE,
  visibilityWindow = 1e+05
)

squishedRowHeight

Height of each row of features in "SQUISHED" mode, for compact viewing.

maxRows

of features to display

searchable
