Code:number-pairs-to-array-file.c

The main use-case of this code, is to take certain SQL results and convert them to array files that can be used in the image generator.

Example of how this was used: The results of a query in Code:food1.sql were used to generate File:yields.data-float64-895x1 which was used in generating File:food-crop-production1.png.

Code

// takes pairs of numbers from stdin
// reads them as "index" and "value"
// puts them into an array
// saves the array to an output file
