## Image Plot of Microarray

### Description

Plot an image of colours representing the log intensity ratio for each spot on the array. This function can be used to explore whether there are any spatial effects in the data.

### Usage

    imageLimma(z, row, column, meta.row, meta.column,
    low = NULL, high = NULL)

### Arguments

`z` | numeric vector or array. This vector can contain any spot statistics, such as log intensity ratios, spot sizes or shapes, or t-statistics. Missing values are allowed and will result in blank spots on the image
`row` | rows in the microarray
`column` | columns in the microarray
`meta.row` | metarows in the microarray
`meta.column` | metacolumns in the microarray
`low` | color associated with low values of 'z'. May be specified as a character string such as '"green"', '"white"' etc, or as a rgb vector in which 'c(1,0,0)' is red, 'c(0,1,0)' is green and 'c(0,0,1)' is blue. The default value is '"green"' if 'zerocenter=T' or '"white"' if 'zerocenter=F'.
`high` | color associated with high values of 'z'. The default value is '"red"' if 'zerocenter=T' or '"blue"' if 'zerocenter=F'.

### Note

This function is based in the imageplot function from limma package.

### Examples

    data(Simon)
    spot.data <- attr(Simon, "spotData")
    M <- log(spot.data$Cy5, 2) - log(spot.data$Cy3, 2)
    imageLimma(z = M, row = 23, column = 24, meta.row = 2, meta.column = 2,
    low = NULL, high = NULL)
