## Write data to a GDS node

### Description

Write data to a GDS node.

### Usage

    write.gdsn(node, val, start=NULL, count=NULL, check=TRUE)

### Arguments

`node` | an object of class `gdsn.class`, a GDS node
`val` | the data to be written
`start` | a vector of integers, starting from 1 for each dimension
`count` | a vector of integers, the length of each dimnension
`check` | if `TRUE`, a warning will be given when `val` is character and there are missing values in `val`

### Details

`start`, `count`: The values in data are taken to be those in the array with the leftmost subscript moving fastest.

`start` and `count` should both exist or be missing. If `start` and `count` are both missing, the dimensions and values of `val` will be assigned to the data field.

GDS format does not support missing characters `NA`, and any `NA` will be converted to a blank string `""`.

### Value

None.

    read.gdsn(n)

    write.gdsn(n, array(1:24, c(4,3,2)))
    read.gdsn(n)

    # close the GDS file
    closefn.gds(f)

    # delete the temporary file
    unlink("test.gds", force=TRUE)
