[BioC] Display Chromosome-bands in a plot

[Oosting, J. (PATH)]

The lodplot package on CRAN has a function to draw chromosome bands, and
the quantsmooth package in the Bioconductor development branch has a
version of that plot that I've improved to make it more visually
appealing.

Hi,

is there some existing function which can use the biomart gene band
information for creating chromosome plots? I've got amplification and
deletion frequencies for certain genes. What I would like to do is 

1. get the $band info for a list of genes using biomart
2. make a plot for each chromosome which displays the amplification
frequencies of the genes as barplot matched to a nice chromosome picture
exhibiting the bands. (basically similar to the following picture

regards,

Benjamin
