Write A GEO-EAS Data File

DESCRIPTION:

Writes out a data frame as a GEO-EAS data file.

USAGE:

write.geoeas(data, file="", title, units, sep="\\t", 
             end.of.row="\\r\\n") 

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

data
a data frame.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

file
the name of the date file to be created. If file is "" then write.geoeas will write to standard output.
title
the descriptive title for the GEO-EAS data set. Can be up to 80 characters. If not supplied the name of the data argument is used.
units
optional units vector. This must be the same length as the number of columns in data.
sep
the separator character to use between data fields in the file. The default is the tab character.
end.of.row
the character to print at the end of each row of the file. The default is carriage-return-newline since GEO-EAS data files are typically used on PC's.

SIDE EFFECTS:

A GEO-EAS data file is written.

DETAILS:

GEO-EAS is a collection of MS-DOS based software tools for performing two-dimensional geostatistical analysis of spatially distributed software. It uses a fixed file format with header information for its data input files. Many other PC based spatial analysis programs also use this file format. See Englund and Sparks (1992) for more details.
