\title{
Write a Matrix or Data Frame
}
\description{
Writes a matrix or data frame to a file or the console, using column
labels and a layout respecting columns.
}
\usage{
write.matrix(x, file = "", sep = " ", blocksize)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{
matrix or data frame.
}
\item{file}{
name of output file. The default (\code{""}) is the console.
}
\item{sep}{
The separator between columns.
}
\item{blocksize}{
If supplied and positive, the output is written in blocks of
\code{blocksize} rows. Choose as large as possible consistent with
the amount of memory available.
}}
\details{
If \code{x} is a matrix, supplying \code{blocksize} is more
memory-efficient and enables larger matrices to be written, but each
block of rows might be formatted slightly differently.
If \code{x} is a data frame, the conversion to a matrix may negate the
memory saving.
}
\section{Side Effects}{
A formatted file is produced, with column headings (if \code{x} has them)
and columns of data.
