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

     Generates a boxplot of intensity values of negative controls,
     positive controls and experimental data for each experiment
     available in the dataset.

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

     makeBoxplotControlsPerScreen(header, dataset, channel, plotTitle, plotDesign, showPlot)

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

  header: the header of a dataset file generated with
          'generateDatasetFile' 

 dataset: an R data frame generated with 'generateDatasetFile' 

 channel: a character string specifying the column whose values will be
          used for the boxplot 

plotTitle: the plot title 

plotDesign: 1 or 2. 1 will generate one window containing all plots, 2
          will generate a series of plots. 

showPlot: 0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI,
          0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows.

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

     A series of boxplots of intensity values of negative controls,
     positive controls and experimental data will be saved as a pdf and
     a png file named after the experiment name specified in the header
     concatenated with the ' plotTitle'.

     The function returns a list containing:

plotName : the plotname

minOfScreens : the number of the first experiment

numOfScreens : he number of the last experiment
