_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Function displays the 30 measurements computed by the program Spot
     for each gene in the slide being considered.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     init.read.exp(batch, imageid, sep="\t", header=TRUE, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   batch: batch name of the experiment

 imageid: integer value; the index of the slide which is considered

     sep: the field separator character; the columns of the file will
          be separated by this character.

  header: a logical value indicating whether the file contains the
          names of the variables as its first line.

     ...: graphical parameters may also be supplied as arguments to the
          function (see 'par').

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A matrix containing the 30 columns of computed measurements,
     corresponding to the rows of different genes in the specified
     slide. 
      Details regarding these measurements can be found at <URL:
     http://www.cmis.csiro.au/iap/Spot/spotoutput.htm>.

_W_a_r_n_i_n_g:

     The code in the example is not directly executable as it draws
     upon a particular set of data. This data may be downloaded from
     <URL:
     http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/users/terry/zarray/Software/smacode.h
     tml> and when loaded appropriately into the user's directory, this
     example should be executable in its current form.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     ## apoa1.info <- init.read.exp("apoa1", 1) ## obtains the matrix
     ## of 30 measurements for all the genes spotted on slide 1 of the MouseArray
     ## experiment.
