\keyword{manip}{init.addinfo}
\begin{Description}\relax
Interactive function which adds other information generated from the
output of image analysis software for microarrays to the existing 
data structure created using  \code{\LinkA{init.data}{init.data}}.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
init.addinfo(batch, attri, dataname=NULL, ...)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{batch}] Character string, this refers to the name of a
collection of experiments.
\item[\code{attri}] Character string, the name of the information to be
included in the data structure.  For example, from the output of
\tt{Spot}, this argument can be "area", "signal to noise" etc.
In other words, these are the column headings from the raw data set.
\item[\code{dataname}] A name of your experimental data.  By default it's
named "batch.exp" where batch is the name of the collection of
experiments you are interested in.
\item[\code{...}] Other arguments
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Value}
List containing the following component:

\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{R}] contains the raw red intensities, R.
\item[\code{G}] contains the raw green intensities, G.
\item[\code{Rb}] contains the background red intensities, Rb.
\item[\code{Gb}] contains the background green intensities, Gb.
\end{ldescription}

as well as information from other users selected columns information.
\end{Value}
