_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function allows for a multidimensional view/manipulation of
     the data of the FCS object.  Each row is an observation/cell, and
     the columns are regarded as the different variable conditions.

_U_s_a_g_e:

       xgobi.FCS(myFCSobj, subset.row = NULL, subset.col = NULL, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

myFCSobj: FCS object

subset.row: a vector of the row positions to be displayed; by default
          the first 1/15th rows are chosen to be displayed

subset.col: a vector of the column positions to be displayed; by
          default the first 1/2 of the columns are displayed

     ...: additional 'xgobi' function parameters/options in 'xgobi'
          package

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A graphics window with user-enabled manipulations The UNIX
     `status' upon completion, i.e. `0' if ok.

_W_A_R_N_I_N_G:

     Abuses/uses xgobi: XGobi cannot handle datasets that are too
     large.  Therefore, use subset.col and subset.row options to reduce
     the data matrix of the FCS R-object.  Please see `xgobi' for other
     commands in the signature.

_N_o_t_e:

     By default only a subset of the data is shown in xgobi because of
     size limitations.  The user may be able to view the whole FCS
     dataset by using xgobi, but only if the dataset is not too huge
     for xgobi capabilities.  It may be advisable to 'createGate' and
     'extractGatedData' before viewing with xgobi.

_R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e_s:
