                    I would like to export wig variablestep files using the rtrack
package.  I get an error if I export
files that have "overlapping" features on different chromosomes.  For
example, I can't export this:
chr1    NimbleScan      CHR01FS000924213        924213  924214
-0.192999968716105      .       .       CHR01FS000924213
chr9    NimbleScan      CHR09FS138569971        924211  924213
-0.090919369857934      .       .       CHR09FS138569971
 > gffFile <- import.gff("test.gff", version = c("1"), genome =
"hg18")
 > export.wig(gffFile, "test.wig", dataFormat = "variableStep")
Error in export.ucsc(object, con, subformat, ...) :
   Track not compatible with WIG format: Overlapping features must be
on separate strands
But I can export
chr1    NimbleScan      CHR01FS000924213        924213  924214
-0.192999968716105      .       .       CHR01FS000924213
chr9    NimbleScan      CHR09FS138569971        924211  924212
-0.090919369857934      .       .       CHR09FS138569971
Note 924213 change to 924212 in second working version
Could this be fixed?
Thanks,
Vince
