     Print methods were defined for the microarray classes,
     '"marrayInfo"', '"marrayLayout"', '"marrayRaw"', '"marrayNorm"',
     '"marraySpots"', and '"marrayTwo"'. These methods produce
     summaries of the intensity and textual data stored in different
     classes of microarray objects.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     _x = _A_N_Y generic print method

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_L_a_y_o_u_t for an object of class '"marrayLayout"', the
          method prints main layout parameters such as the number of
          spots and the dimensions of the spot and grid matrices.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_I_n_f_o for an object of class '"marrayInfo"', the method
          prints the first 10 rows of the '"maInfo"' and '"maLabels"'
          slots.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_R_a_w for an object of class '"marrayRaw"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"' and the target samples hybridized to the arrays
          '"maTargets"', and a summary of the distribution of the
          log-ratio statistics '"maM"'.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_N_o_r_m for an object of class '"marrayNorm"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"' and the target samples hybridized to the arrays
          '"maTargets"', and a summary of the distribution of the
          log-ratio statistics '"maM"'.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_T_w_o for an object of class '"marrayTwo"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"', and a summary of the distribution of the
          statistics '"maX"' and '"maY"'.

     _x = _m_a_r_r_a_y_S_p_o_t_s for an object of class '"marraySpots"', the method
          prints a short description of the microarray layout
          '"maLayout"' and the probe sequences spotted on the arrays
          '"maGnames"'.
