     This component generates several exploratory plots customized to
     the various types of controls provided in the MEEBO set. All
     results are saved as an image. Tested on GenePix format only
     (11-18-2005). For more details about the plots, please refer to
     the HTML description.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  fnames: A "character" string naming the input files.

    path: A "character" string representing the data directory.  By
          default this is set to the current working directory (".").

 galfile: A "character" string naming the file descrining the layout of
          the array. If missing, meeboQuality will read the layour from
          the gpr file.

  source: A "character" string specifing the image analysis program
          which produced the output files. See ?read.maimages in
          package limma for more details.

other.columns: See ?read.maimages in package limma for more details.

controlMatrix: A character matrix of n by 2 or more columns. One column
          should contain a few regular expression of spotted probe
          sequences and another column should contain the corresponding
          control status. By default, controlMatrix is set to
          MeeboSpotTypes.

controlId: Character string. Name of the column of the gpr file used to
          define controls.

  DOPING: Logical. If 'TRUE', doping controls quality plots are
          generated.

meeboSetQC: Logical. If 'TRUE', mismatch and tiling controls quality
          plots are generated.

SpotTypeFile: A "character" string representing the name of the file
          containing spot type description for the array.

SpikeTypeFile: A "character" string representing the name of the file
          containing doping control information. See HTML description
          for more details.

  cy3col: A "character" string representing the name of the column of
          the SpiketypeFile containing the quantity of each control
          spiked in the Cy3 channel.

  cy5col: A "character" string representing the name of the column of
          the SpiketypeFile containing the quantity of each control
          spiked in the Cy5 channel.

      id: A "character" string describing which column of the MEEBO
          annotation should be used to retrieve replicated oligos, e.g.
          "SeqID".

 namecol: A "character" string describing which column of the
          SpiketypeFile should be used in the legend.

   annot: A "character" string describing which R object should be used
          to look-up probes annotations. By default, it is set to
          MEEBOset.

bgMethod: Character string specifying which background correction
          method to use. See ?backgroundCorrect in package limma for
          more details.

normMethod: Character string specifying which normalization method
          should be used. See ?normalizeWithinArrays in package limma
          for more details.

diagnosticPlot: Logical. If 'TRUE', a quality diagnostic plot will be
          generated.

  resdir: A "character" string representing the directory where the
          results will be saved. By default, this is set to the current
          working directory ("."). 

     dev: A "character" string naming the graphics device. This will
          take arguments "png", "jpeg" and "ps" only. By default, dev
          is set to "png".

   DEBUG: If 'TRUE', debug statements are printed.

     ...: Additional arguments

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     meeboQuality returns 3 types of quality control plots,
     specifically designed for the various controls offered by the
     MEEBO set. To assess the global performance of an hybridization,
     users can generate a diagnostic plot summarizing several graphs
     and statictics by setting'diagnosticPlot=TRUE'. Then, the
     performance of the MEEBO set can beanalyzed by looking
     specifically at the mismatch and the tiling controls
     ('meeboSetQC=TRUE').

     Finally, we are also providing several exploratory tools to assess
     the performance of the doping-controls ('DOPING=TRUE');these plots
     should be used only if a spike-in mixture was added to the
     hybridization solution.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     meeboquality will produce several graphs, saved in an image file
     format. Please refer to the HTML description for more details. The
     function will also return the MAList object describing your tested
     slides.
