write directions as a text table with a line of column names; MATLAB’s vector3d/export

Syntax

export(v, 'vectors.txt')

The Cartesian components, at their length.

export(v, 'vectors.txt', polar=True)

Polar angle and azimuth in degrees.

export(v, 'vectors.txt', polar=True, radians=True)

The angles in radians.

export(v, 'vectors.txt', {'weight': w})

One more column per named value.

Description

The file has a line of column names, x y z or polar angle and azimuth angle, and one row per vector, the table loadVector3d reads back. A dict passed adds a column per key, one value per vector.

Input

v vector3d
fname the name of the file

Keywords

keyword default description
polar False the polar coordinates instead of x, y, z
radians False the polar coordinates in radians instead of degrees

Output

fname the name of the file written
