#' Setting display parameters to control the look and feel of the plots
#'
#'
#' The genome track plots in this package are all highly customizable by means
#' of so called 'display parameters'. This page highlights the use of these
#' parameters and list all available settings for the different track classes.
#'
#'
#' All of the package's track objects inherit the \code{dp} slot from the
#' \code{\linkS4class{GdObject}} parent class, which is the main container to
#' store an object's display parameters. Internally, the content of this slot
#' has to be an object of class \code{\linkS4class{DisplayPars}}, but the user
#' is usually not exposed to this low level implementation. Instead, there are
#' two main interaction points, namely the individual object constructor
#' functions and the final \code{\link{plotTracks}} function. In both cases,
#' all additional arguments that are not caught by any of the formally defined
#' function parameters are being interpreted as additional display parameters
#' and are automatically added to the aforementioned slot. The main difference
#' here is that display parameters that are passed on to the constructor
#' function are specific for an individual track object, whereas those supplied
#' to the \code{plotTracks} function will be applied to all the objects in the
#' plotting list. Not all display parameters have an effect on the plotting of
#' all track classes, and those will be silently ignored.
#'
#' One can query the available display parameters for a given class as well as
#' their default values by calling the \code{\link{availableDisplayPars}}
#' function, or by inspecting the man pages of the individual track classes.
#' The structure of the classes defined in this package is hierarchical, and so
#' are the available display parameters, i.e., all objects inherit the
#' parameters defined in the commom \code{GdObject} parent class, and so on.
#'
#' Once a track object has been created, the display parameters are still open
#' for modification. To this end, the \code{\linkS4class{DisplayPars}} replacement
#' method is available for all objects inheriting from class \code{GdObject}.
#' The method takes a named list of parameters as input, e.g.:
#'
#' \code{displayPars(foo) <- list(col="red", lwd=2)}
#'
#' In the same spirit, the currently set display parameters for the object
#' \code{foo} can be inferred using the \code{displayPars} method directly,
#' e.g.:
#'
#' \code{displayPars(foo)}
#'
#' For track objects inheriting from class
#' \code{\linkS4class{AnnotationTrack}}, display parameters that are not
#' formally defined in the class definition or in any of the parent classes are
#' considered to be valid R color identifiers that are used to distinguish
#' between different types of annotation features. For instance, the parameter
#' 'miRNA' will be used to color all annotation features of class miRNA. The
#' annotation types can be set in the constructor function of the track object
#' via the \code{feature} argument. For most of the tracks that have been
#' inferred from one of the online repositories, this classification will
#' usually be downloaded along with the actual annotation data.
#'
#' Users might find themselves changing the same parameters over and over
#' again, and it would make sense to register these modifications in a central
#' location once and for all. To this end the Gviz package supports display
#' parameter schemes. A scheme is essentially just a bunch of nested named
#' lists, where the names on the first level of nesting should correspond to
#' track class names, and the names on the second level to the display
#' parameters to set. The currently active schmeme can be changed by setting
#' the global option \code{Gviz.scheme}, and a new scheme can be registered by
#' using the \code{addScheme} function, providing both the list and the name
#' for the new scheme. The \code{getScheme} function is useful to get the
#' current scheme as a list structure, for instance to use as a skeleton for
#' your own custom scheme.
#'
#' In order to make these settings persitant across R sessions one can create
#' one or several schemes in the global environment in the special object
#' \code{.GvizSchemes}, for instance by putting the necessary code in the
#' \code{.Rprofile} file. This object needs to be a named list of schemes, and
#' it will be collected when the Givz package loads. Its content is then
#' automatically added to the collection of available schemes.
#'
#' Please note that because display parameters are stored with the track
#' objects, a scheme change only has an effect on those objects that are
#' created after the change has taken place.
#'
#' @aliases settings addScheme getScheme
#' @param scheme A named nested list of display parameters, where the first
#' level of nesting represents Gviz track object classes, and the second level
#' of nesting represents parameters.
#' @param name A character scalar with the scheme name.
#' @return
#'
#' The \code{getScheme} function returns current scheme as a list structure.
