_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Reads a spatial subset of probe-level data from Affymetrix CEL
     files.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     readCelRectangle(filename, xrange=c(0, Inf), yrange=c(0, Inf), ..., asMatrix=TRUE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

filename: The pathname of the CEL file.

  xrange: A 'numeric' 'vector' of length two giving the left and right
          coordinates of the cells to be returned.

  yrange: A 'numeric' 'vector' of length two giving the top and bottom
          coordinates of the cells to be returned.

     ...: Additional arguments passed to 'readCel'().

asMatrix: If 'TRUE', the CEL data fields are returned as matrices with
          element (1,1) corresponding to cell (xrange[1],yrange[1]).

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A named 'list' CEL structure similar to what 'readCel'(). In
     addition, if 'asMatrix' is 'TRUE', the CEL data fields are
     returned as matrices, otherwise not.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     Henrik Bengtsson (<URL: http://www.braju.com/R/>)

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     The 'readCel'() method is used internally.
