readDesign-methods: Read NimbleGen design files (methods)
In HELP: Tools for HELP data analysis

Methods for extracting array design information from corresponding files in the Nimblegen .ndf and .ngd formats.

x = "missing", y = "missing", z = "missing": Handle empty function call
x = "vector", y = "missing", z = "missing": Handle single vector input. If two values specified in vector, reinterpret function call with two character inputs. Otherwise, handle as empty function call.
x = "vector", y = "vector", z = "missing": Handle two vector input. If vectors of unit length, reinterpret function call with two character inputs. Otherwise, handle as improper function call.
x = "character", y = "character", z = "ExpressionSet": Handle two character vector inputs, each specifiying a filename to use when reading design information. Design information will be written to an ExpressionSet.
x = "character", y = "character", z = "character": Handle two character vector inputs, each specifiying a filename to use when reading design information. Design information will be written to a database.
