[BioC] chipAlongChrom problem in Ringo

[Jianping Jin]

Hi Joern,

You are right. I need to generate y0 for the plot.

Here is another trouble:

> plot(chersX[[which.max(chersXD$maxLevel)]],smoothX,probeAnno=probeAnno, 
gff=mm9genes2, paletteName="Dark2", ylim=c(-1,6))
Error in as.double(x) :
  cannot coerce type 'S4' to vector of type 'double'

chipAlongChrom works with expression data while plot works with x and y 
coordinates. How chersX can be plotted with smoothX?

thanks,

Jianping
