[BioC] onvert an already existing CDF environment into a CDF file or CDF package

[Samuel Wuest]

Hi Shirley,

I have had a discussion on the very same topic recently, where I
wanted to write a cdf-environment into a .cdf-file... With good help
from Mark, Elisabeth and Kasper I have written a script that somehow
did the job... However, you'll need some informations specific to the
chip you're using, e.g. how many rows and columns it has and how a
list should look like that you pass to the writeCdf-function; the best
is indeed to read in an Affymetrix cdf-file using the affxparser
package and then you can examine the read-in object a bit closer... I
am attaching you my script I have made for a Arabidopsis cdf-file in a
personal email (it should also appear at one point on the
aroma.affymetrix homepage), hope this helps.

Best Sam
