_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Given a set of probes, will highlight them in the color desired on
     a plot which has already been created via the function cPlot().

_U_s_a_g_e:

     cColor(probes, color, plotChroms, scale=c("relative","max"), glen=0.4)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  probes: The probes that are being highlighted.

   color: The color to highlight the probes.

plotChroms: An object of type 'chromLocation' which contains all the
          gene information to be plotted.

   scale: Whether to plot the graph scaled absolutely or relative by
          chromosome.  Default is absolute.

    glen: The length of the gene line plotted.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     It is important to call the function 'cPlot()' first.  This
     function will then search for the specific locations of the probes
     desired, which are contained within the 'plotChroms' instance of a
     'chromLocation' class.  It will then pass these on to the plotting
     routine to highlight the desired locations.  NOTE:  It is
     important that 'plotChroms', 'scale' and 'glen' parameters are the
     same as used for 'cPlot()'.
