In gnyamundanda/sma: Statistical Microarray Analysis

Description

Interactive function for specifying the dimensions of the spot matrix and the grid matrix. These parameters depend on the printing layout of the array, and are used for the within print-tip group normalization implemented in stat.ma and the spatial representation of spot statistics in plot.spatial.

Usage

init.grid()

Arguments

None.

Value

list containing the following components

nspot.r	the number of rows of spots per grid;
nspot.c	the number of columns of spots per grid;
ngrid.r	the number of rows of grids per image;
ngrid.c	the number of columns of grids per image.
