Synopsis
Write a list of arrays to a file.
Syntax
save_arrays(filename, args, fields=None, ascii=True, clobber=False) filename - str args - array of arrays fields - array of str ascii - bool, optional clobber - bool, optional
Examples
Example 1
Write the x and y columns from the default data set to the file 'src.dat':
>>> x = get_indep()
>>> y = get_dep()
>>> save_arrays('src.dat', [x, y])Example 2
Use the column names "r" and "surbri" for the columns:
>>> save_arrays('prof.fits', [x,y], fields=["r", "surbri"],
... ascii=False, clobber=True)PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| filename | The name of the file to write the array to. |
| args | The arrays to write out. |
| fields | The column names (should match the size of `args` ). |
| ascii | If False then the data is written as a FITS format binary table. The default is True . The exact format of the output file depends on the I/O library in use (Crates or AstroPy). |
| clobber | This flag controls whether an existing file can be overwritten ( True ) or if it raises an exception ( False , the default setting). |
