I understand the motivation, but IIUC it's definitely an API change that could break existing scripts, which is against our normal policy. <br>
<br>
Why not make the flag mean the contrary, i.e. include null values ? Then it wouldn't break anything...<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure that most people exporting data via <a href="http://r.out.xyz" target="_blank">r.out.xyz</a> would expect null values to be excluded...<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
</font></span></blockquote></div><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><a href="http://r.out.xyz">r.out.xyz</a> export XY and their values. When there is no value, nothing is exported. This is the correct counterpart for <a href="http://r.in.xyz">r.in.xyz</a> where you get NULLs for cells without any input XY(Z).<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I agree with Moritz. Adding a flag to export NULLs looks like the best way. It doesn't break API nor expectations. NULLs simply not being there seems like a better default here.<br></div></div>
