ClusterSeer requires most data in ASCII text file format. ASCII or plain text files can be exported from many spreadsheet and data analysis programs, or you can create them directly in a text editor.
While the "Select File..." dialog defaults to importing a file with the extension *.txt, ClusterSeer will import plain text files with any file extension. To import a file with a different extension, choose "All Files (*.*)" after "Files of type" in the "Select File...." dialog to view all files. Then, choose the file to import.
Different methods require different file structures. The types of data required in the file is described in the "How to" sections for individual methods. Depending on the method, the file may contain some or all of these categories: spatial coordinates, temporal information, and case/disease data.
For import requirements, see Text file guidelines.
