\begin{Description}\relax
Print methods were defined for the microarray classes, \code{"\Link{marrayInfo}"}, \code{"\Link{marrayLayout}"}, \code{"\Link{marrayRaw}"}, \code{"\Link{marrayNorm}"}, \code{"\Link{marraySpots}"}, and \code{"\Link{marrayTwo}"}. These methods produce summaries of the intensity and textual data stored in different classes of microarray objects.

\describe{
\item[x = ANY] generic print method
\item[x = marrayLayout] for an object of class \code{"\Link{marrayLayout}"}, the method prints main layout parameters such as the number of spots and the dimensions of the spot and grid matrices.
\item[x = marrayInfo] for an object of class \code{"\Link{marrayInfo}"}, the method prints the first 10 rows of the \code{"maInfo"} and \code{"maLabels"} slots.
\item[x = marrayRaw] for an object of class \code{"\Link{marrayRaw}"}, the method prints a short description of the microarray layout \code{"maLayout"} and the target samples hybridized to the arrays \code{"maTargets"}, and a summary of the distribution of the log-ratio statistics \code{"maM"}.
\item[x = marrayNorm] for an object of class \code{"\Link{marrayNorm}"}, the method prints a short description of the microarray layout \code{"maLayout"} and the target samples hybridized to the arrays \code{"maTargets"}, and a summary of the distribution of the log-ratio statistics \code{"maM"}.
\item[x = marrayTwo] for an object of class \code{"\Link{marrayTwo}"}, the method prints a short description of the microarray layout \code{"maLayout"}, and a summary of the distribution of the statistics \code{"maX"} and \code{"maY"}.
\item[x = marraySpots] for an object of class \code{"\Link{marraySpots}"}, the method prints a short description of the microarray layout \code{"maLayout"} and the probe sequences spotted on the arrays \code{"maGnames"}.
