 \usage{\method{getDataFrame}{Annotation}(this, arrayType="menu", force=FALSE, graphics=TRUE, verbose=FALSE, ...)}

 \arguments{
  \item{arrayType}{ Character string representing the array name. If 'menu', the list of available arrays is displayed
  allowing to select the array type of interest.}
  \item{force}{ If \code{\link[base:logical]{TRUE}} forces the system to update the content of service data directory
  even if contained the data before. Default is \code{\link[base:logical]{FALSE}}.}

 \dontrun{
 Annotation$init();
 Annotation$setCredentials("Affymetrix",user="alex.lisovich@gmail.com",password="125438",verbose);
