Converts a genlight object into faststructure format (to run faststructure elsewhere)

Recodes in the quite specific faststructure format (e.g first six columns need to be there, but are ignored...check faststructure documentation (if you find any :-( )))

gl2faststructure(
  x,
  outfile = "gl.str",
  outpath = tempdir(),
  probar = FALSE,
  verbose = NULL
)

Arguments

x

Name of the genlight object containing the SNP data [required].

outfile

File name of the output file (including extension) [default "gl.str"].

outpath

Path where to save the output file [default tempdir(), mandated by CRAN]. Use outpath=getwd() or outpath='.' when calling this function to direct output files to your working directory.

probar

Switch to show/hide progress bar [default FALSE].

verbose

Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2 or as specified using gl.set.verbosity].
