# Selecting Data Tracks for Visualization

Genomic information plotted on the canvas is organized into horizontal sections called tracks. The exact number, type, and presentation of tracks depend on several factors, such as the underlying analysis pipeline, available annotation, and the level of zoom. The tracks are added, removed, or customized via the **Select tracks** dialog.

The content of the *Select tracks* dialog depends on the data nodes present on the *Analyses* tab of the current analysis. Current analysis pipeline is depicted in the center of the window, while data nodes that can be visualised are highlighted by the colour of their layer. Tracks can be turned on or off by selecting the check boxes in the list of possible tracks (and data nodes) on the left.

For the ease of use, the analysis pipeline and the list of tracks are linked: hovering over the track list highlights the matching data node in the pipeline and vice versa, i.e. selecting a data node in the pipeline panel highlights the respective node in the track list. Once you decided on the tracks that should be plotted, push **Display selection** to depict them on the canvas.
