=head1 NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::Funcgen::ArrayChip - A simple module to represent the concept/template of 
a chip/slide within an array,  of which the physical manifestation is an ExperimentalChip.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Bio::EnsEMBL::Funcgen::ArrayChip;

 my $ec = Bio::EnsEMBL::Funcgen::ArrayChip->new(
                    							 -ARRAY_ID  => $array->dbID(),
					                    		 -NAME      => $desc,
                                                 -DESIGN_ID => $design_id,
							                   );

#add more methods here?


=head1 DESCRIPTION

An ArrayChip object represent the concept of an array chip/slide withing a given array/chipset.
The data for ArrayChips is stored in the array_chip table.
