[BioC] Rgraphviz, deprecated imageMap

[Ariel Chernomoretz]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your quick answer.
The problem is that Rgraphviz sets in fact a new method to
the generic function 'imageMap' from geneplotter, that accept an Ragraph object
(and not a matrix with boxplot coordinates) as the first argument .
Regards
Ariel./
