\name{read.MIAME}
\alias{read.MIAME}
\title{
Read MIAME Information into an Instance of Class 'MIAME'
}
\description{
Reads MIAME information from a file or using a widget.
}
\usage{
read.MIAME(filename = NULL, widget = getOption("BioC")$Base$use.widgets, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{filename}{Filename from which to read MIAME information.}
\item{widget}{Logical. If \code{TRUE} and a filename is not given, a widget is used to enter information.}
\item{\dots}{Further arguments to \code{scan}.}
}
\details{
Notice that the \code{\link{MIAME}}
class tries to cover the MIAME entries that are not covered by other
classes in Bioconductor. Namely, experimental design, samples,
hybridizations, normalization controls, and pre-processing
information.
The function \code{\link{scan}} is used to read.
The file must be a flat file with the
different entries for the instance
of MIAME class separated by carriage returns. The order should be: name, lab,
contact, title, abstract, and url.
Alternatively a widget can be used.
}
\value{An object of class \code{\link{MIAME}}.}
