*mimager* simplifies the process of imaging microarrays and inspecting them for spatial artifacts by providing a consistent visualization interface that supports many of Bioconductor's microarray object classes.
## Installation
You can install the latest release from Bioconductor:
```r
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("mimager")
```
or the current development version using `devtools`:
```r
# library(devtools)
install_github("aaronwolen/mimager", build_vignettes = TRUE)
```
## Example
```r
library(mimager)
library(affydata)
data("Dilution")
mimage(Dilution, transform = arle, nrows = 1, legend.label = "RLE")
```
