  \item{\bold{startCol}}{ A vector specifying the starting column(s) to write df}
  \item{\bold{startRow}}{ A vector specifying the starting row(s) to write df}
  \item{\bold{xy}}{ An alternative to specifying startCol and startRow individually.
 A vector of the form c(startCol, startRow)}
  \item{\bold{colNames or col.names}}{ If \code{TRUE}, column names of x are written.}
  \item{\bold{rowNames or row.names}}{ If \code{TRUE}, row names of x are written.}
  \item{\bold{headerStyle}}{ Custom style to apply to column names.}
  \item{\bold{borders}}{ Either "surrounding", "columns" or "rows" or NULL.  If "surrounding", a border is drawn around the
data.  If "rows", a surrounding border is drawn a border around each row. If "columns", a surrounding border is drawn with a border
between each column.  If "\code{all}" all cell borders are drawn.}
  \item{\bold{borderColour}}{ Colour of cell border}
  \item{\bold{borderStyle}}{ Border line style.}
  \item{\bold{keepNA}} {If \code{TRUE}, NA values are converted to #N/A (or \code{na.string}, if not NULL) in Excel, else NA cells will be empty. Defaults to FALSE.}
  \item{\bold{na.string}} {If not NULL, and if \code{keepNA} is \code{TRUE}, NA values are converted to this string in Excel. Defaults to NULL.}
}

\bold{freezePane Parameters}

  \item{\bold{firstActiveRow}} {Top row of active region to freeze pane.}
  \item{\bold{firstActiveCol}} {Furthest left column of active region to freeze pane.}
  \item{\bold{firstRow}} {If \code{TRUE}, freezes the first row (equivalent to firstActiveRow = 2)}
  \item{\bold{firstCol}} {If \code{TRUE}, freezes the first column (equivalent to firstActiveCol = 2)}
}

\bold{colWidths Parameters}
\itemize{
  \item{\bold{colWidths}} {Must be value "auto". Sets all columns containing data to auto width.}
}


\bold{saveWorkbook Parameters}

\examples{

## write to working directory
options("openxlsx.borderColour" = "#4F80BD") ## set default border colour
\dontrun{
write.xlsx(iris, file = "writeXLSX1.xlsx", colNames = TRUE, borders = "columns")
write.xlsx(iris, file = "writeXLSX2.xlsx", colNames = TRUE, borders = "surrounding")
}


hs <- createStyle(
  textDecoration = "BOLD", fontColour = "#FFFFFF", fontSize = 12,
  fontName = "Arial Narrow", fgFill = "#4F80BD"
)
\dontrun{
write.xlsx(iris,
  file = "writeXLSX3.xlsx",
  colNames = TRUE, borders = "rows", headerStyle = hs
)
}

## Lists elements are written to individual worksheets, using list names as sheet names if available
l <- list("IRIS" = iris, "MTCATS" = mtcars, matrix(runif(1000), ncol = 5))
\dontrun{
write.xlsx(l, "writeList1.xlsx", colWidths = c(NA, "auto", "auto"))
}

## different sheets can be given different parameters
\dontrun{
write.xlsx(l, "writeList2.xlsx",
  startCol = c(1, 2, 3), startRow = 2,
  asTable = c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE), withFilter = c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE)
