PCA-plot: Principal Component Analysis plot

Description

A generic function which produces a PCA-plot.

Usage

plotPCA(object, ...)

Arguments

object

A data object, typically containing gene expression information.

...

Additional arguments, for use in specific methods.

Value

Undefined. The function exists for its side effect, producing a plot.
