Problems when called from within a function. More clear and modular when the run.profiling.script is used for preprocessing, and any new plots are performed as separate steps based on the profiling output files if needed. o Moved run.profiling.script plots to their own functions and added usage examples to vignette.

For usage examples, see vignette. CHANGES IN VERSION 0.0.05 (2012-02-22) o atlas functions added and polished CHANGES IN VERSION 0.0.02 (2012-02-06) o profiling_010.r script functions and dependencies added CHANGES IN VERSION 0.0.01 (2012-01-12) o First version based on profiling script version 010
