[BioC] MA plots for large number of arrays

All,

I have illumina arrays (~250)  and I was looking at the options for MA
plots in the lumi package and the beadarray package. It seems they are
all giving pairwise plots.

When I have had a large number of Affy arrays, I have had success with
the MAplot function in affyPLM because I believe it takes the median
of all
arrays and then gives me one pdf comparing each array to the reference.

Does anyone know of a general function similar to this that I can use
on a matrix.

Thanks!

Juliet
