_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Produce density plot(s) using the 'density.lf' function of the 
     'locfit' library. a single column variable specified from the data
     of one (or more) FCS object(s).

_U_s_a_g_e:

     plotdensity.FCS(data,varpos,xlab,ylab,col, xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL,main=NULL,...)        

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    data: a list of one (or more) FCS object(s) or a cytoSet object

  varpos: the numerical column variable position of the data of the FCS
          object

    xlab: a title for the x axis

    ylab: a title for the y axis

     col: The colors for lines and points. Multiple colors can be
          specified so that each point can be given its own color. If
          there are fewer colors than points they are recycled in the
          standard fashion. Lines will all be plotted in the first
          colour specified.

    xlim: limits for the x axis

    ylim: limits for the y axis

    main: title of the plot

     ...: any other arguments are passed to the 'plot' function

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Produce density plot(s) using the 'density.lf' function of the 
     'locfit' library.  Other options from the functions 'plot'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     None.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     N. Le Meur
