#' mimager: The Microarray Imager
#'
#' \pkg{mimager} simplifies the creation of microarray images (sometimes called
#' "pseudo-images") for the purpose of identifying problematic regional
#' aberrations. Notable features include support for many of Bioconductor's core
#' microarray data structures, providng compatibility with a variety of common
#' microarray platforms, and the ability to visualize multiple microarrays
#' simultaneously.
#'
#' The following Bioconductor microarray data structures are currently
#' supported:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{\link[affy]{AffyBatch-class}} for Affymetrix GeneChip
#'     probe level data
#'    \item \code{\link[affyPLM]{PLMset-class}} for probe-level
#'      linear models fitted to Affymetrix GeneChip probe level data
#'    \item \code{\link[oligoClasses]{FeatureSet-class}} for storing
#'      Expression/Exon/SNP data from a variety of oligonucleotide platforms
#'    \item \code{\link[oligo]{oligoPLM-class}} for probe-level linear models
#'      fitted to any of the \code{FeatureSet}-like classes
#' }
