_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Plots the longitudinal temporal profile of a gene.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     plotProfile(object, stats=c("HotellingT2", "MB"), ranking=1, gid=NULL, gnames=NULL, desc=NULL,
     type=c("p","l","b"), col=2:100, lty=1:100, pch=1:100, lwd=2, xlab="Time",
     ylab="Expression", legloc=NULL, xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, cex.main=1,...)

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

  object: a 'MArrayTC' object.

   stats: a character indicating which statistic the 'ranking' is based
          on.

 ranking: a numeric value giving the ranking of the gene to be plotted.

     gid: an optional character giving the ID of the gene to be
          plotted.

  gnames: an optional character vector with the i_th element
          corresponds to the gene ID of the i_th gene in 'object$M'.

    desc: an optional character vector with the i_th element
          corresponds to the gene description of the i_th gene in
          'object$M'.

    type: a character indicating the plot type, '"p"' for points, '"l"'
          for lines, and '"b"' for both.

     col: a character or numeric vector giving the colors for different
          biological conditions. Default is '2:100'.

     lty: a character or numeric vector giving the line types for
          different replicates. Default is '1:100'.

     pch: a character or numeric vector giving the point types for
          different replicates. Default is '1:100'.

     lwd: optional. The default sets to 2.

    xlab: character. The label for the x-axis.

    ylab: character. The label for the y-axis.

  legloc: an optional vector giving the location of the legend.

    xlim: an optional vector giving the upper- and lower- limits of
          x-axis.

    ylim: an optional vector giving the upper- and lower- limits of
          y-axis.

cex.main: optional. The default sets to 1

     ...: any other arguments passed onto 'plot'

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This function takes an object of 'MArrayTC' as the input and plots
     the temporal profile of a single gene. The user can specify either
     the ranking based on 'stats' or the gene ID of the gene to be
     plotted.  

     See 'points' for possible values for 'pch', 'col' and 'cex'.

     See 'mb.long' for examples.
