Re: [Gmod-ajax] Collapsing categories

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

I wanted to see if a solution could be made quickly, if you want to test
out a development branch you can try this

https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/tree/starcollapse


Tested using

[trackSelector]
collapsedCategories=Quantitative*

In  jbrowse.conf
On the volvox sample data

Let me know if how it works, very quickly drafted :)
