1	SlideColumnGroups(layout=NULL, groups=NULL)

`layout`	A `Layout` object specifying the layout of a set of microarrays.
`groups`	A `list` of length equal to the number of rows of spots on each slide and each element contains the spot indices in each row. If `NULL`, the rows are obtained from the Layout object.

Methods:

	`as.character`	-
	`getNames`	-
	`getSizes`	-
	`getSpots`	-
	`nbrOfGroups`	-
