write_ts

Export a list of time series to a file.

Plot official statistics' time series conveniently: automatic
legends, highlight windows, stacked bar chars with positive and
negative contributions, sum-as-line option, two y-axes with automatic
horizontal grids that fit both axes and other popular chart types.
'tstools' comes with a plethora of defaults to let you plot without
setting an abundance of parameters first, but gives you the
flexibility to tweak the defaults. In addition to charts, 'tstools'
provides a super fast, 'data.table' backed time series I/O that allows
the user to export / import long format, wide format and transposed
wide format data to various file types.
