Find a good way to plot the "merge" of multiple datasets #5

Plotting multiple SFCs of many datasets in a single figure is very useful for comparing the genomic distributions. Currently, I can do this by saving each figure (with transparency) and using Photoshop or the like to overlay the figs.

This is laborious and unnecessary - the current "combine" tool attempts to do this using PIL, but the results are quite bad. I need to spend time understanding the algorithms required to combine multiple images using PIL or some other alternate image manipulation library.
