Re: [SED-ML-discuss] SED-ML reports

[Frank B. <fbergman@u.washington.edu>]

Hello Sven, 

Right ... that’s the way I implemented it ... my tools will open new windows
with a spreadsheet like display. Although what I really wanted was just a
file export. But since we cannot: 

- specify the output filename
- specify the output format
- specify the order of the columns
- specify the precision with which to output the information 

It seems a bit limited to me ... 

Best
Frank
