### Examples

     ## first a toy example:
     if (interactive()){
      A = new.env()
      assign("1.+.start",seq(100,1000,by=100),env=A)
      validProbeAnno(A)
      assign("1.+.end",c(99,seq(250,1050,by=100)),env=A)
      assign("1.+.unique",numeric(10),env=A)
      assign("1.+.index",c(2:5,1,7,8,6,10), env=A)
      validProbeAnno(A)
      assign("1.+.index",c(2:5,1,7,8,6,10,3), env=A)
      validProbeAnno(A)
      assign("1.+.end",c(150,seq(250,1050,by=100)),env=A)
      validProbeAnno(A)
     }
     ## validate the provided example probeAnno
     load(file.path(system.file("exData",package="Ringo"),"exampleProbeAnno.rda"))
     validProbeAnno(exProbeAnno)
