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

     Performs a clustering on the x and y positions of beads of the
     same type and displays result

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

     plotCluster(coords, main = NULL)

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

  coords: vector of numeric values specifying x and y positions of the
          beads that we're interested in (this can be found using the 
          'getProbeCoords' function

    main: specify a title for the plot

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

     Co-ordinates are used to create a distance matrix via the 'dist'
     command and then clustered using the ward method. After the
     clustering we  choose to divide the co-ordinates in 8 clusters.

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

     A dendrogram is plotted

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):
