_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This component provides qualitative diagnostic plots and
     quantitative measures for assessing general hybridization quality.
     All results are displayed in a HTML report. GenePix format only.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     gpQuality(fnames = NULL, path = ".", organism = c("Mm", "Hs"),
     reference = NULL, scalingTable = NULL, output = FALSE, resdir = ".", dev= "png", DEBUG = FALSE,...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  fnames: A "character" string naming the input files.

    path: A "character" string representing the data directory.  By
          default this is set to the current working directory (".").

organism: A "character" string naming the organism genome printed on
          the array, either "Mm" or "Hs". By default, organism is set
          to "Mm". It is used to retrieve the corresponding reference
          tables.

reference: A matrix resulting from globalQuality, to be used as
          reference table to compare slides. If 'NULL', the default
          table corresponding to organism will be used. See details for
          more information.

scalingTable: A matrix resulting from qualRefTable, used to scale
          quality measures before plotting them. If 'NULL',the default
          table corresponding to organism will be used. See details for
          more information.

  output: Logical. If 'TRUE', normalized M values corrsponding to the
          input GenePix files are printed.

  resdir: A "character" string representing the directory where the
          results will be saved. By default, this is set to the current
          working directory ("."). 

     dev: A "character" string naming the graphics device. This will
          take arguments "png", "jpeg" and "ps" only. By default, dev
          is set to "png".

   DEBUG: If 'TRUE', debug statements are printed.

     ...: additional arguments

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     gpQuality returns 2 plots for each GenePix files passed as
     argument. The first one is a qualitative diagnostic plot, a quick
     visual way to assess slide quality. The second one is a
     comparative boxplot: each quality control measure is compared to
     the range obtained for a database of 'good' slides used as
     reference. You can use your own set of references created using
     'globalQuality' and 'qualRefTable' passed in the arguments
     "reference" and "scalingTable", or use the reference QC values
     stored in the datasets 'MmReferenceDB' and 'MmScalingTable'. All
     results and quality scores are gathered in a HTML report. For more
     details about the QC measures and the plots, please refer to the
     online manual.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A list of 3 elements:

    mraw: A marrayRaw object created from the input files.

   score: A matrix of Quality Control score for each input slide.

 quality: A matrix containing Quality Control measures for all slides.
