\begin{Description}\relax
Print methods were defined for the microarray classes,
\code{"\LinkA{marrayInfo}{marrayInfo}"}, \code{"\LinkA{marrayLayout}{marrayLayout}"},
\code{"\LinkA{marrayRaw}{marrayRaw}"}, \code{"\LinkA{marrayNorm}{marrayNorm}"}. These methods
produce summaries of the intensity and textual data stored in different
classes of microarray objects.

\describe{
\item[x = ANY] generic print method
\item[x = marrayLayout] for an object of class \code{"\LinkA{marrayLayout}{marrayLayout}"}, the method prints main layout parameters such as the number of spots and the dimensions of the spot and grid matrices.
\item[x = marrayInfo] for an object of class \code{"\LinkA{marrayInfo}{marrayInfo}"}, the method prints the first 10 rows of the \code{"maInfo"} and \code{"maLabels"} slots.
\item[x = marrayRaw] for an object of class \code{"\LinkA{marrayRaw}{marrayRaw}"}, the method prints a short description of the microarray layout \code{"maLayout"} and the target samples hybridized to the arrays \code{"maTargets"}, and a summary of the distribution of the log-ratio statistics \code{"maM"}.
\item[x = marrayNorm] for an object of class \code{"\LinkA{marrayNorm}{marrayNorm}"}, the method prints a short description of the microarray layout \code{"maLayout"} and the target samples hybridized to the arrays \code{"maTargets"}, and a summary of the distribution of the log-ratio statistics \code{"maM"}.
