TAB #!EF #!N #!N Functional Details #!N #!N The Export module 
writes  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   object #!EF to the file  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name #!EF in 
the specified  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF . #!N #!N You can specify 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF as dx, array, or vrml. #!N #!N If 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF = dx, this specification can be followed by 
one or more of the following modifiers: #!N #!I0 #!N #!N 
#!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   byteorder #!EF #!I50 #!N Can be "msb" or 
"lsb" for most significant byte first or least significant byte first, 
respectively. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   dxformat #!EF #!I50 #!N Can be 
"ieee," or "text" for IEEE floating point or ASCII format, respectively. 
You can also specify "ascii" as a synonym for "text," and 
"binary" as a synonym for "ieee." #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   
where #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N Can be one of the following 
three keywords: #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   "follows" #!EF 
#!I50 #!N The data for each object follows the header for 
that object. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   "1" #!EF #!I50 #!N The 
data for each object is contained in a separate data section 
in the file. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   "2" #!EF #!I50 #!N 
The data for each object is contained in a separate file. 
#!I0 #!N #!N For "follows" and "1," the module writes a 
single file with the file name (  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   name #!EF .dx). 
For "2," the module writes files. The object headers are written 
to  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   name #!EF .dx; the data are written to  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
name #!EF .bin (binary data) or  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   name #!EF .data (text 
data). For more information, see  #!Limd,dxall618 h Importing Data: File Formats  #!EL  in IBM Visualization Data Explorer 
User's Guide. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF 
= "array," this specification can be followed by one or both 
of the following modifiers: #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   quotes #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N Puts quotation marks around 
string data. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   headers #!EF #!EF #!I50 
#!N Puts a header of descriptive information at the top of 
the file. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N The data are written 
out in ASCII spreadsheet format (in columns). Only position-dependent data are 
supported. All position-dependent data are written to the output file. The 
first column will contain the positions themselves. #!N #!N If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
object #!EF contains a group of fields, these are written out 
one after the other. #!N #!N If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF = 
"vrml," or the extension of the filename is .wrl, then a 
VRML 2.0 format file will be written. Because VRML files are 
written out in ASCII they can be very large, so you 
should reduce the number of polygons before exporting if possible, for 
example by using SimplifySurface. The object exported must be a field 
or group with two- or three-dimensional positions. Data Explorer objects are 
exported using VRML geometry nodes IndexFaceSet, IndexLineSet, PointSet, or ElevationGrid depending 
on the connections element type and regularity of positions. Colors and 
normals are exported with each object, if they exist. #!N #!N
