Hi Andrew,

We can apply alpha-blending via GD, but I'm not sure what these 
overlapping things are? At the moment you'd just get a slightly fainter 
histogram, surely? If you want to render two histograms in the same 
place you all the config, ordering, zmenu, etc, issues of composite 
tracks remain, surely, to be overcome before translucency is useful?

Or is the idea that features rendered from a single eg BED file as 
blocks aren't bumped into different vertical positions when they overlap 
but superimpose on top of each other?

Dan.
