> I will briefly recap my problem: I am writing a desktop application that uses IGB. I want to visualize in IGB some data that are processed by an algorithm of mine. Thanks to your advices I was able to load the genome (genome), load the needed files (load) and visualize the area of interest (goto + refresh). I do that through a http request to the port 7085 and some script files.

> Now I would like to improve this application. In particular, there are two important aspects I want to add to my application.
>
> 1. I want to give the user the opportunity to delete the previous tracks when they load new ones. From what I got, it isn't possible to do it through the script language. Am I correct? Is there a way to do so? Is the correct way to do so use port 7084 and commands?
>
> 2. This is much more importante for us. We want to give the user the opportunity of invoking a particular function once they selected some regions in IGB. The idea is that a user selects some genomic regions in IGB and we give them the opportunity to export somehow the information about the selected regions. What is the correct way to do so? Is it possible? Is a plugin the right solution?
