The format itself doesn't allow appending, unfortunately. The format is structured such that there are blocks of internal indices that would have to grow if you appended to a file, but they would then start overwriting data.
Ah, bummer. Thank you for answering my question!
I'd like to open an existing bigWig file and write new data to it without deleting the old data, but looking through the code I see that it's not supported. Is there a technical reason for this?
Thank you!
