\title{Display a color image}

\description{
  Creates a grid of colored or gray-scale rectangles with colors
  corresponding to the values in \code{z}.
  This can be used to display three-dimensional or spatial data aka
  \emph{images}.

  NOTE: This man page is for the \code{image} S4 generic function
  defined in the BiocGenerics package.
  See \code{?graphics::\link[graphics]{image}} for the default method
  (defined in the graphics package).
  Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
  not supported by the default method.

\details{
  See \code{?graphics::\link[graphics]{image}} for the details.

  Specific methods defined in other Bioconductor packages should
  behave as consistently as possible with the default method.
