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

     Function to plot the intensities of all beads of a particular type
     on a strip/array.

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

     plotBeadIntensities(BLData, ProbeIDs, arrays, log = FALSE,
               whatToPlot="G", ProbeCols=NULL, ylim=NULL,...)

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

  BLData: 'BeadLevelList'

ProbeIDs: numeric value giving the ProbeID(s) for the bead type(s) to
          plot

  arrays: integer (scalar or vector) specifying the strip(s)/array(s)
          to plot

     log: if TRUE log2 intensities are plotted

whatToPlot: character string specifying which intensities to plot.
          Possibilities are '"G"', '"Gb"' for single channel data and
          '"G"', '"Gb"', '"R"' and '"Rb"' for two-colour data

ProbeCols: vector of colour names to assign to each bead type

    ylim: vector providing the upper and lower bounds for the y-axis in
          the plotting window

     ...: further graphical parameters to 'plot'

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

     Boxplots of the specified intensities on the original or log-scale
     for each bead type specified by 'ProbeIDs' on selected 'arrays' is
     produced.

     A vertical line separates the intensities from different
     strips/arrays.

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

     A plot is displayed on the current graphical device.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     data(BLData)

     plotBeadIntensities(BLData, arrays=1:4, ProbeIDs=c(2,1000), log=TRUE)
