====== Export ======
Exports the data of interest to a a target path. Different formats can be chosen. 

===== Usage =====
Connecting the export logic to any IO enables the user to export the data in multiple different formats and to different locations. 

===== Parameters =====
Different file types of the dataset to be exported can be chosen.

^ File Type                 ^ Description     ^
| Autodetect | In case of a given data format (e.g. //.mrc// or //.img//) the “autodetect” option can be activated. In any other case, the file type needs to be set. |
| Header File | To save storage space this option can be used if only the imagic (//.hed//) file but not the data file (//.img//) is required. |
| csv  | The //.csv// format is used to store tabular data into plain text (e.g. Excel). |
| imagic | The file format was developed based on image science convention. Two files are generated, a header (//.hed//) and an image (//.img//) file. In the header file several image specifications are stored. Two files are generated, a header (//.hed//) and an image (//.img//) file. In the header file an several image specifications are stored |
| jpg | The images are exported as standard jpg-image-files. |
| mrc  | The mrc format is based on the map format used in the CCP4 suite for macromolecular crystallography.Two options for MRC-Compatibility may be defined: imagic (1) or xmipp3.1 (2), where parameters are stored according to the mentioned software conventions. For using in RELION rename a //.mrc// stack into //.mrcs//. |
| png | The images are exported as standard png-image-files. | 
| star | The STAR (Self-defining Text Archiving and Retrival) format is an alternative to the XML format to store different kinds of meta data in a easy-to-read fashion. RELION used the star format for all kind of meta data (model.star; optimiser.star; sampling.star and data.star). //Notepad++// can be used to read //.star//-files. | 
| tif | The images are exported as 32- or 16-bit tif files. |
