Dear deeptools developer,

I am using deeptools bamCoverage to convert bam files to bw files. To exclude the effect of gender (chrX), I used the argument --ignoreForNormalization chrX. What I don't understand is how deeptools calculate the normalized signal density within chrX since the chrX has been ignored?

I look forward to your reply! Many thanks in advance!! Yang
