[BioC] ggbio plot coverage adjusted for library size

[Tengfei Yin]

Hey James,

So sorry for the late reply, in case I forget, you can also leave your
question/feedback ingithub issues page backlog
<https://github.com/tengfei/ggbio/issues>. I will work on those backlogs
when I got time.

Are you looking for a normalization cross samples for
coverage? Unfortunately, it's not built-in yet.

But I am re-work on autoplot() for bamfile list for particular regions now,
I will think about give options on normalization considering the library
size. Or more flexible, you could use your own method to do normalization
on the raw RleList, then autoplot will provide better/faster graphics for
RleList after the improvements. This new features will be implemented in
devel branch.

Let's keep in touch.

cheers

Tengfei
