Hi Steve,

First of all I would like to thank you as I was able to plot tag
densities for a couple of histone modifications.

I have 6 .map files from bowtie for 6 histone modifications. So for
first couple of files it read fine but then it gave me this error...

I already had 2 readaligned data stored in my system when I read the
3rd file. I removed the objects by rm(me3) and tried again but again
it gave me the error.

I also think its the problem of ram but is it possible to have all the
objects in memory as they would be needed during plotting.

Thank you,

Best regards,

Kirti Prakash
