In the title information you need to include UseScore information including the range you want to cover with your histogram. There is a section in the UCSC website that explains the content: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1
For stating the range of your histogram: scoreMin=X scoreMax=X. This will mean that the greyscale shading uses the two X values as the value for white and black, all other points will be an even range like the example on the UCSC browser page.
When I was doing this the information I used was wiggle format:
track type = wiggle_0 name="name of track" description="description" useScore=1 scoreMin=0 scoreMax=6.
ChrNo StartPos FinishPos Score
Hope that makes sense/helps

Hello, I have a bed file in this format: chr# start end scores. I tried to view it in ucsc main but it showed only where the fragments are(based on the start and end coordinates) with numerical scores beside each fragment. How do I view the file as a histogram format? What format will I need to convert the file to and where can I do the conversion? Any advise is greatly appreciated!
Jose
