Methods for Function annotatedDataFrameFrom in Package 'Biobase'

Description:

     'annotatedDataFrameFrom' is a convenience for creating
     'AnnotatedDataFrame' objects.

Methods:

     Use the method with 'annotatedDataFrameFrom(object, byrow=FALSE,
     ...)'; the argument 'byrow' _must_ be specified.

     'signature(object="assayData")' This method creates an
          'AnnotatedDataFrame' using sample (when 'byrow=FALSE') or
          feature ('byrow=TRUE') names and dimensions of an 'AssayData'
          object as a template.

     'signature(object="matrix")' This method creates an
          'AnnotatedDataFrame' using column (when 'byrow=FALSE') or row
          ('byrow=TRUE') names and dimensions of a 'matrix' object as a
          template.

     'signature(object="NULL")' This method (called with 'NULL' as the
          object) creates an empty 'AnnotatedDataFrame'; provides
          'dimLabels' based on value of 'byrow'.
