[BioC] Rgraphviz, deprecated imageMap

[Robert Gentleman]

Hi,

   FYI in R and BioC you will know if a function is deprecated or not by 
the error/warning you get when you try to use it, and typically such a 
warning will be present for about six months before the function is made 
defunct. In this case no such deprecation has happened.

imageMap is in the geneplotter package.

best wishes
   Robert
