     The 'intactXML2Graph' takes in a vector of related XML files and
     generates a graph object based on the type of XML file.

     intactXML2Graph(intactFiles, type="interaction", directed=TRUE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

intactFiles: A vector of IntAct XML file names. If the data  of a
          single experiment has been split into multiple XML files 
          (e.g. Ewing et al 2007), then each entry of the vector should
          contain one of these XML files. NB - different datasets
          should not be  put into the same vector.

    type: A character string which is either "interaction" if the XML
          file contains experimental physical data or "complex" if the 
          XML file contains curated protein complex membership data.

directed: A logical. User defined parameter so that the return value
          with either be a directed or undirected graph object.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     If type = "interaction," then a resulting intactGraph object is
     genertated on the aggregate of the XML files. If type = "complex,"
     then a resulting intactHyperGraph object is generated on the
     aggregate of the XML files.
