## plot densities of bead intensities

### Description

Function to produce smoothed density plots of the bead intensities from different bead strips/arrays.

### Usage

    plotBeadDensities(BLData, whatToPlot = "G", arrays = NULL, log = TRUE,
              type="l", col=1, xlab="Intensity", ylab="Density",
              xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`BLData` | `BeadLevelList`
`whatToPlot` | character string specifying which intensities to plot. Possibilities are `"G"`, `"Gb"` for single channel data and `"G"`, `"Gb"`, `"R"` and `"Rb"` for two-colour data
`arrays` | integer (scalar or vector) specifying the strip(s)/array(s) to plot. If set to `NULL` (default value), data from all strips/arrays are plotted
`log` | if TRUE log2 intensities are plotted
`type` | character string specifying what type of plot to draw
`col` | the colours for lines and points
`xlab` | label for x-axis
`ylab` | label for y-axis
`xlim` | numeric vector specifying x-axis limits
`ylim` | numeric vector specifying y-axis limits
`...` | further graphical parameters to `plot`

### Details

Produces density plots of the raw intensities from a `BeadLevelList` When `arrays="NULL"`, densities from all arrays are plotted.

### Value

A plot is produced on the current graphical device
