public class Plate extends AnnotatedItem implements Registered
This class is represents physical plates. A plate must have a PlateType, which defines the geometry and possible events for the plate.

A plate consists of Well:s which are created at the same time the plate is created. The wells are organised into rows and columns as specified by the plate geometry.

A plate is either created directly or as the result of a PlateMapping operation from other plates. In the first case the wells must be linked to reporters before the plate is saved. In the latter case the linking is done automatically from the source plates.
