R help - Oct 2007 - export R-data to VisIt

Hello,

Is there anyone porting R data to VisIt (http://www.llnl.gov/visit/)?
Altough VisIt accepts 5 dozen of data formats, I can't get my data into
VisIt.

I currently ran a simulation which gave me a data frame, which I wanted to
import into VisIt to further explore the dataframe.

Let's say I have a data frame as follows:

dat <- data.frame(cbind(  1,   1:10),X3= sample(LETTERS[1:3], 10, repl=TRUE))

My currently data export is write.table(dat,"C:/filename.csv")
But I can't import this kind of data in Visit.
An option is to export my dataframe as a .CDF file, but I couldn't get the
right output of my dataframe with netcdf.

So how do I put my dataframe in a netCDF format, or is there anyone who knows
the easiest way to transport my data to VisIt?


Kind Regards

Bart

Have you tried the ncdf package?
