// .NAME vtkCSVExporter - exporter used by certain views to export data as a CSV
// file.
// .SECTION Description
// This is used by vtkSMCSVExporterProxy to export the data shown in the
// spreadsheet view or chart views as a CSV. The reason this class simply
// doesn't use a vtkCSVWriter is that vtkCSVWriter is designed to write out a
// single vtkTable as CSV. For exporting data from views, generating this single
// vtkTable that can be exported is often time consuming or memory consuming or
// both. Having a special exporter helps us with that. It provides two sets of
// APIs:
//
// \li \c STREAM_ROWS: to use to stream a single large vtkTable as contiguous chunks where each chuck
// is a subset of the rows (ideal for use by vtkSpreadSheetView) viz. OpenFile,
// WriteHeader, WriteData (which can be repeated as many times as needed), and CloseFile,
// \li \c STREAM_COLUMNS: to use to add columns (idea for chart views) viz. OpenFile,
// AddColumn (which can be repeated), and CloseFile.
//
// One has to pick which mode the exporter is operating in during the OpenFile()
// call.
