## Printing methods for microarray objects

### Description

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.

### Methods

x = ANY
  generic print method
x = marrayLayout
  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 = marrayInfo
  for an object of class `"marrayInfo"`, the method prints the first 10 rows of the `"maInfo"` and `"maLabels"` slots.
x = marrayRaw
  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 = marrayNorm
  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 = marrayTwo
  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 = marraySpots
  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"`.
