### Description

Scale array intensities in a `AffyBatch`.

### Usage

    normalize.AffyBatch.constant(abatch, refindex=1, FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE)
    normalize.constant(x, refconstant, FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE)

### Arguments

`abatch` | an instance of the `AffyBatch-class`.
`x` | a vector of intensities on a chip (to normalize to the reference).
`refindex` | the index of the array used as a reference.
`refconstant` | the constant used as a reference.
`FUN` | a function generating a value from the intensities on an array. Typically `mean` or `median`.
