Class ExcelFileWriter

java.lang.Object
  uchicago.src.sim.analysis.ExcelFileWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

BlockFileWriter

public class ExcelFileWriter
extends java.lang.Object
implements BlockFileWriter

Writes network data to ExcelFiles. This is extremely slow and ASCII writing (which is suitable for importing into excel should be used instead. The data is written with a file header (model properties etc.) any block header info (dynamic properties, tick count) and then the actual network data. The network data format is identical to the excel format imported and exported by UCINet. Labels are recorded on the row and column above and preceding the data. The data itself begins in the second row and col cell.
