_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Finds the x and y co-ordinates of every bead of a given bead type
     on a particular array

_U_s_a_g_e:

     getProbeCoords(BLData, probe, array)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  BLData: BLDataLlist object

   probe: numeric value for the ProbeID we want to find the
          co-ordinates for

   array: numeric value for the array we want

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Function simply uses the ProbeID to look up the BLData$x and
     BLData$y values for beads whose BLData$ProbeID match the given
     'ProbeID' argument.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     matrix of numeric values with two columns ($x$ and $y$) and number
     of rows being the number of beads with this ProbeID present in the
     array. The $x$ and $y$ values returned are standardised by
     subtracting the minimum $x$ and $y$ values of any bead on the
     array.
