\title{Class "FCSsummary" Summary object for a "FCS-class" }
\description{ The data summary statistics along with metadata output help
  summarize a "FCS-class" object using the "summary" method.}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("FCSsummary", ...)}.
 
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{num.cells}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} the number
    of cells or rows from the data}
    \item{\code{num.param}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} the number
    of parameters or columns from the data}
    \item{\code{univariate.stat}:}{Object of class \code{"matrix"}
      five-number summary including the standard deviation of all the
      column variables }
    \item{\code{metadata.info}:}{Object of class \code{"list"} with
      the following slots: "Description", "ColumnParametersSummary", and "fcsinfoNames". }
  }
}
\section{Methods}{
  \describe{
    \item{"print-methods"}{\code{signature(x = "FCSsummary")}: prints the output
      of the summary statistics of the data and the metadata}
    \item{"show-methods"}{\code{signature(object = "FCSsummary")}: same as "print"}
  }
