## Function to Plot the Layout of an Illumina BeadChip

### Description

Using the values obtained from a sentrix descriptor object generated by simpleXMLparse, a plot is generated showing samples and sections.

### Usage

    plotChipLayout(SD, subsC = NULL, sampC = NULL, sectC = NULL, desectC = "red", markC = "white", main = NULL, samplab = NULL, sectlab = NULL)

### Arguments

`SD` | A sentrix descriptor object such as that generated by simpleXMLparse from an Illumina sdf file
`subsC` | The colour for the array substrate. Will be extracted from the sentrix descriptor object if null.
`sampC` | The colour for the samples. Will be extracted from the sentrix descriptor object if null.
`sectC` | The colour for the sections. Will be extracted from the sentrix descriptor object if null.
`desectC` | The colour with which to outline the decode sections
`markC` | The colour for plotting decoding and analytical markers
`main` | A title to give the figure (e.g. chip name)
`samplab` | labels for the samples. Will be extracted from the sentrix descriptor object if null.
`sectlab` | labels for the sections (if appropriate). Will be extracted from the sentrix descriptor object if null.

### Value

returns a plot to the current device (recommend this is tall and thin)
