Saving and exporting

Once you've entered your data, you can save it by going to the File menu and choosing Save, which will save it as a .dvrst file. Double-clicking this file will open it in Diversity, but other programs cannot open a .dvrst file.

If you want to use your data in another program, it's easy to export it. To export a single collection, select that collection, go to the File menu and choose Export One Collection.

To export all of your collections, go to the File menu and choose Export Group of Collections. This will save your file as a comma-delimited file that is easily imported into R with this command:

test <- read.csv("myMatrix.csv")

Many other programs can open comma-delimited files just as easily.
