Sure, just set "-bump => 0" when you create the track (see attached code
and png).  The only problems with this approach are 1. the use of a
whitespace label to center the 'line' glyph correctly and 2. since bump
== 0 there's nothing to stop the labels of the domain glyphs from
overlapping if the domains are close together (but this is an inherent
drawback of the particular layout you want to achieve.)
