export-method: Export LoomExperiment to LoomFile
In LoomExperiment: LoomExperiment container

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Exports a LoomExperiment to a LoomFile. Note the colGraph and rowGraph contained within the LoomExperimnet object are 1-indexed in R and are converted to 0-indexed in the loom file.

## S4 method for signature 'LoomExperiment,LoomFile,ANY'
export(object, con,
    matrix=assayNames(object)[1], rownames_attr="rownames", colnames_attr="colnames")

`object`	A `LoomExperiment` object to be exported. File must have the `.loom` extension.
`con`	The connection from which data is loaded or to which data is saved. If this is a `character vector`, it is assumed to be a filename and a corresponding file connection is created and then closed after exporting the object. If a `RTLFile` derivative, the data is loaded from or saved to the underlying resource.
`matrix`	A `matrix` in which the column and rows for the Loom file will be derived. The default argument is dervied from the the first assay in the `LoomExperiment` object.
`rownames_attr`	A `character vector` indicating the name of the `rowData` attribute to represent the names `rownames` in the `LoomExperiment` object.
`colnames_attr`	A `character vector` indicating the name of the `colData` attribute to represent the names `colnames` in the `LoomExperiment` object.

An error code indiciating whether the operation was successful.
