     Print methods were defined for the microarray classes,
     '"marrayInfo"', '"marrayLayout"', '"marrayRaw"', '"marrayNorm"',
     '"marraySpots"', and '"marrayTwo"'. 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"'.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_T_w_o for an object of class '"marrayTwo"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"', and a summary of the distribution of the
          statistics '"maX"' and '"maY"'.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_S_p_o_t_s for an object of class '"marraySpots"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"' and the probe sequences spotted on the arrays
          '"maGnames"'.
