## Write a GCT object to disk in GCT format

### Description

Write a GCT object to disk in GCT format

### Usage

    write.gct(...)

    write_gct(ds, ofile, precision = 4, appenddim = TRUE, ver = 3)

### Arguments

`...` | arguments passed on to `write_gct`
`ds` | the GCT object
`ofile` | the desired output filename
`precision` | the numeric precision at which to save the matrix. See `details`.
`appenddim` | boolean indicating whether to append matrix dimensions to filename
`ver` | the GCT version to write. See `details`.

### Details

Since GCT is text format, the higher `precision` you choose, the larger the file size. `ver` is assumed to be 3, aka GCT version 1.3, which supports embedded row and column metadata in the GCT file. Any other value passed to `ver` will result in a GCT version 1.2 file which contains only the matrix data and no annotations.

### Value

silently returns NULL

### Examples

    # note this will create a GCT file in your current directory
    write_gct(ds, "dataset", precision=2)
