     These generic functions retrieves information related with the
     format of RNAi experiment conducted in multi-plate format and
     stored in an object of 'cellHTS' class.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object of class 'cellHTS'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'pdim' returns a vector of length 2 containing integer values that
     correspond to the number of rows and columns in a plate. This
     corresponds to the plate        format used in the screen (for
     example, 96-well  or 384-well plates).

     'plate' returns a vector of integers with the same length as the
     product between the number of wells per plate and the number of
     plates. This gives the plate number for each well in the assay.
     Corresponds to 'fData(object)[,"plate"]'.

     'well' returns a character vector containing the wells identifiers
     (for example "A01", "H06"). Its length equals the product between
     the number of wells per plate and the number of plates. This
     vector corresponds to 'fData(object)[,"well"]'.

     'position' gives a numeric vector containing every well positions
     (1, 2, 3, ...). Its length is equal to the product between the
     number of wells per plate and the number of plates.
