_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Interactive function which adds other information generated from
     the output of image analysis software for microarrays to the
     existing  data structure created using  'init.data'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     init.addinfo(batch, attri, dataname=NULL, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   batch: Character string, this refers to the name of a collection of
          experiments.

   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.

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.

     ...: Other arguments

_V_a_l_u_e:

     List containing the following component:

       R: contains the raw red intensities, R.

       G: contains the raw green intensities, G.

      Rb: contains the background red intensities, Rb.

      Gb: contains the background green intensities, Gb.

     as well as information from other users selected columns
     information.

_W_a_r_n_i_n_g:

     The code in the example is not directly executable as it draws
