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

     Print methods were defined for the microarray classes,
     '"marrayInfo"', '"marrayLayout"', '"marrayRaw"', '"marrayNorm"'.
     These methods produce summaries of the intensity and textual data
     stored in different classes of microarray objects.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:


     _x = _A_N_Y generic print method

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_L_a_y_o_u_t for an object of class '"marrayLayout"', the
          method prints main layout parameters such as the number of
          spots and the dimensions of the spot and grid matrices.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_I_n_f_o for an object of class '"marrayInfo"', the method
          prints the first 10 rows of the '"maInfo"' and '"maLabels"'
          slots.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_R_a_w for an object of class '"marrayRaw"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"' and the target samples hybridized to the arrays
          '"maTargets"', and a summary of the distribution of the
          log-ratio statistics '"maM"'.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_N_o_r_m for an object of class '"marrayNorm"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"' and the target samples hybridized to the arrays
          '"maTargets"', and a summary of the distribution of the
          log-ratio statistics '"maM"'.
