\examples{

## Set the stacked data slot WHILE creating a new stacked data object

# Load stacked data
data(adultsNeonates)
# Create a stacked data object
stackedDataObject = new("StackedData", stackedData=adultsNeonates)

## Set the stacked data slot AFTER creating a new stacked data object

# Load stacked data
data(adultsNeonates)
# Create a stacked data object
stackedDataObject = new("StackedData")
# Set the stacked data slot
stackedData(stackedDataObject) = adultsNeonates

## Set the stacked data slot after creating a new stacked data object

stackedDataFrame = readStackedData(fileName=system.file("extdata","adultsNeonates.csv", package="flowPlots"))    
stackedDataObject = new("StackedData")
stackedData(stackedDataObject) = stackedDataFrame
