\title{ Plot the mean expression (with standard deviation bar) of different type of control probes }
\description{
  Plot the mean intensity (with standard deviation bar) of different type of control probes. Multiple control types can be plotted in a single plot. The available control types can be get by running getControlType(controlData).
}
\usage{
plotControlData(controlData, type = NULL, slideIndex = NULL, logMode = FALSE, new = TRUE, ...)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{controlData}{ a LumiBatch object including control data, a control data data.frame, a MethyLumiQC object or a MethyLumiM object including MethyLumiQC control data}
  \item{type}{ the control probe type (case insensitive), which can be get by running getControlType(controlData) }
  \item{slideIndex}{ the slide index or ID corresponding to each sample }
  \item{logMode}{ whether show the data in log2 scale }
  \item{new}{ whether refresh the new plot or add it on the old one  }
  \item{\dots}{ other parameters used by default plot function }
}
\details{
  When multiple control types are selected, they will be plotted in a two-column plot. 
For methylation data, the red and green channels will be plotted respectively in red and green colors.

\value{
	plot the picture and invisibly return TRUE if everything is OK
