\title{Class "Ideogram", represent an Ideogram}
\description{An ideogram is a representation of a chromosome containing the banding pattern.  Note that currently ideograms are only available for hsapiens.}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("Ideogram", ...)}.
}
\section{Slots}{
	 \describe{
    \item{\code{chromosome}:}{Object of class \code{"character"}, representing the chromosome that needs to be drawn. E.g. 3 if chromosome 3 needs to be drawn or Y for Y chromosome.}
    \item{\code{dp}:}{Object of class \code{"DisplayPars"}, can be used to specify the size  (default 1) of the ideogram in the final plot and to specify the highlighting color}
  }
}
\section{Methods}{
No methods defined with class "Ideogram" in the signature.
