)

Arguments

filepath	character string, the path to the output file in FSGD format

var_columns	vector of character strings, the column names to include as variables in the FSGD file. If NULL (the default), all columns will be included (with the exception of the group column and the subject id column).
ftitle	character string, freeform title for the FSGD file
fsgd_flag_lines	vector of character strings, extra flag lines to write to the file. The default setting will activate de-meaning and rescaling.
