## Methods for getting/setting the filters on a Bimap object

### Description

These methods are part of the Bimap interface (see `?Bimap` for a quick overview of the Bimap objects and their interface).

Some of these methods are for getting or setting the filtering status on a Bimap object so that the mapping object can toggle between displaying all probes, only single probes (the defualt) or only multiply matching probes.

Other methods are for viewing or setting the filter threshold value on a InpAnnDbBimap object.

### Usage

      ## Making a Bimap object that does not prefilter to remove probes that
      ## match multiple genes:
      toggleProbes(x, value)
      hasMultiProbes(x) ##T/F test for exposure of single probes
      hasSingleProbes(x) ##T/F test for exposure of mulitply matched probes

      ## Looking at the SQL filter values for a Bimap
      getBimapFilters(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A Bimap object.
`value` | A character vector containing the new value that the Bimap should use as the filter. Or the value to toggle a probe mapping to: "all", "single", or "multiple".

### Details

`toggleProbes(x)` is a methods for creating Bimaps that have an alternate filter for which probes get exposed based upon whether these probes map to multiple genes or not.

`hasMultiProbes(x)` and `hasSingleProbes(x)` are provided to give a quick test about whether or not such probes are exposed in a given mapping.

`getBimapFilters(x)` will list all the SQL filters applied to a Bimap object.

### Value

A Bimap object of the same subtype as `x` for `exposeAllProbes(x)`, `maskMultiProbes(x)` and `maskSingleProbes(x)`.

A TRUE or FALSE value in the case of `hasMultiProbes(x)` and `hasSingleProbes(x)`.

### Examples

      ## Make a Bimap that contains all the probes
      require("hgu95av2.db")
      mapWithMultiProbes <- toggleProbes(hgu95av2ENTREZID, "all")
      count.mappedLkeys(hgu95av2ENTREZID)
      count.mappedLkeys(mapWithMultiProbes)

      ## Check that it has both multiply and singly matching probes:
      hasMultiProbes(mapWithMultiProbes)
      hasSingleProbes(mapWithMultiProbes)

      ## Make it have Multi probes ONLY:
      OnlyMultiProbes = toggleProbes(mapWithMultiProbes, "multiple")
      hasMultiProbes(OnlyMultiProbes)
      hasSingleProbes(OnlyMultiProbes)

      ## Convert back to a default map with only single probes exposed
      OnlySingleProbes = toggleProbes(OnlyMultiProbes, "single")
      hasMultiProbes(OnlySingleProbes)
      hasSingleProbes(OnlySingleProbes)
