        If ``fname`` is a path, file is opened in ``w`` mode. Existing file
        with a same name will be overwritten.
    :param x: 1D-Array (or list) of abscissa values.
    :param y: 2D-array (or list of lists) of ordinates values. First index
        is the curve index, second index is the sample index. The length
        of the second dimension (number of samples) must be equal to
        ``len(x)``. ``y`` can be a 1D-array in case there is only one curve
        to be saved.
    :param filetype: Filetype: ``"spec", "csv", "txt", "ndarray"``.
        If ``None``, filetype is detected from file name extension

    :param xlabel: Abscissa label
    :param ylabels: List of `y` labels
    :param fmt: Format string for data. You can specify a short format
        string that defines a single format for both ``x`` and ``y`` values,
        or a list of two different format strings (e.g. ``["%d", "%.7g"]``).
        Default is ``"%.7g"``.
        This parameter does not apply to the `npy` format.
    :param csvdelim: String or character separating columns in `txt` and
        `CSV` formats. The user is responsible for ensuring that this
        delimiter is not used in data labels when writing a `CSV` file.
    :param newline: String or character separating lines/records in `txt`
        format (default is line break character ``\\n``).
    :param header: String that will be written at the beginning of the file in
        `txt` format.
    :param footer: String that will be written at the end of the file in `txt`
         format.
    :param comments: String that will be prepended to the ``header`` and
        ``footer`` strings, to mark them as comments. Default: ``#``.
    :param autoheader: In `CSV` or `txt`, ``True`` causes the first header
         line to be written as a standard CSV header line with column labels
         separated by the specified CSV delimiter.

    When saving to Specfile format, each curve is saved as a separate scan
    with two data columns (``x`` and ``y``).

    `CSV` and `txt` formats are similar, except that the `txt` format allows
    user defined header and footer text blocks, whereas the `CSV` format has
    only a single header line with columns labels separated by field
    delimiters and no footer. The `txt` format also allows defining a record
    separator different from a line break.

    The `npy` format is written with ``numpy.save`` and can be read back with
    ``numpy.load``. If ``xlabel`` and ``ylabels`` are undefined, data is saved
    as a regular 2D ``numpy.ndarray`` (contatenation of ``x`` and ``y``). If
    both ``xlabel`` and ``ylabels`` are defined, the data is saved as a
    ``numpy.recarray`` after being transposed and having labels assigned to
    columns.
