Description

Enhancement Request: Please consider adding a new primitive, say columns-to-file, which uses each inner list (of the inputted list of lists) as a column rather than a row of the CSV file. Obviously this is just for convenience, since transposing before applying to-file accomplishes the same goal. However, how to transpose a list of lists is not obvious to new NetLogo students.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing to-file primitive and compare its row-oriented behavior with the requested columns-to-file entry point. Done means the new primitive writes each inner list as a CSV column, with behavior consistent with to-file.
