chipName: Return an Official Chip/Platform Name

Description

This generic function returns an official or standard chip/platform name.

Usage

chipName(object)

Arguments

object
See showMethods("chipName"), but generally object will be a subclass of PkgSeed.

Value

A character vector of length one giving a standard name for the platform.

Details

The idea is that the input files can be used to determine a standard name for each platform. For example, the method for AffySNPPDInfoPkgSeed objects reads the header of the CDF file to extract a name.
