Summary0011200: Document exporting to CSV from python
DescriptionDocument exporting to CSV from python:

From Alan:
For (dozens of times)
 Open same file
 Plot over line, slightly different line placement
 Integrate 2d plot
 Output data to spreadsheet view
 Export file to .csv file.

This really is the only case I can think of for python and spreadsheet view - trying to format data such that you can export it to a csv file. But, to be able to output a filters output to a .csv file, this is the only way I know how...

commit 7c6c6211c95526af4a2ba22f901dc9b65cfc7fe0
Author: Utkarsh Ayachit <utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com>
Date: Wed Sep 15 16:54:45 2010 -0400

    Added CreateWriter function to use writer factory to create a writer.
    
    This makes it easier to create writer based on the filename for writing a
    dataset using the same logic that the GUI does to decide available writers.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exporting CSV Data

To export a csv from the cell or point data associated with a source, one can use the following:
>>> writer = CreateWriter(".../foo.csv", source)
>>> writer.FieldAssociation = "Points" # or "Cells"
>>> writer.UpdatePipeline()
>>> del writer

I find this an acceptable solution, since this case is probably fairly rare.

Looked at the web page.
