Basic export

R can easily write an object to a text file via the function, write.table:

write.table(mydata, "C:/mydata.txt", sep="\t")

Type ?write.table for examples and options

Exporting geolocation results from KF packages found on this site

Assume we have run our tracks successfully, and everything is in an active R session, we can output the tracks for other programs.

• Download the export script for R, fit2csv (Right-click to "save link/ file as")

• Make sure you note where you save the downloaded file. Drag-and-drop the file into the main R window, or use the function, source

# Note: delete the hash sign (#) to uncomment a line

# Preparation; define working directory:
setwd("C:/Test")

# Main code:

source("fit2csv.R")
fit2csv(fit1)
fit2csv(fit2)

• A set of output files (e.g fit1a.csv, fit1b.csv, fit1c.csv) will be generated for each tag. The output files are:
  1. -a.csv - track points
  2. -b.csv - model parameters
  3. -c.csv - initialization values to model
