This is almost doing what I want.
here is a snippet of my code, which is writing the x coordinate (converted
to binary), and the y coordinate to a file. The major problem at this point:
the paces between each digit in the cat. What is causing this?

code:
sink("generated.txt", append = TRUE)
cat(paste(rev(as.integer(intToBits(as.integer(input[xpointer,1]))))))

output:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0,0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1,0.0998004
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0,0.1996008
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1,0.2994012

Thanks so much for the help, you all are life savers!
