extra arguments for generic routines.
The form of the value returned by these functions may change depending on the class of its argument. See the documentation of the particular methods for details of what is produced by that method.
The getColors method should return a vector of colors with
length equal to the number of columns in a data set.
The getSplit method should return a vector of colors with
length equal to the number of rows in a data set.
The heat, scatter, and makeFigures methods are
called for their side effects of producing plots.
The methods getColors, getSplit. and getStyles
are used to extract the implicit color assignments used in standard
plots of objects of the Thresher or Reaper classes.
The heat and scatter methods represent generic heat maps
and scatter plots, respectively.
The makeFigures method is to generate a standard suite of
figures for an object. If the DIR argument is not NULL, then
the figures will be written to the indicated directory in PNG
format. Otherwise, the figures will be displayed interactivey on
screen, waiting for user input to show each plot.
