Syntax Overview
asdocx wmat, matrix(matrix_name) [rnames(row names) cnames(row names) replace append other_options]
Detailed Description
wmat is the command name, an abbreviation for ‘writing matrix.’ The option matrix() is required to specify the name of an existing matrix. The options rnames() and cnames() are optional and used to specify the row and column names of the matrix. If these options are left blank, the existing row and column names of the matrix will be used. Other asdocx options can also be utilized with wmat. For instance, replace will overwrite an existing output file, while append will add to the existing file. The option fs() sets the font size, and title() can be used to specify the title of the matrix in the output file.
