Binary

The binary keyword allows a data file to be binary as opposed to ASCII. There are two formats for binary-matrix binary and general binary. Matrix binary is a fixed format in which data appears in a 2D array with an extra row and column for coordinate values. General binary is a flexible format for which details about the file must be given at the command line.

See binary matrix (p. [*]) or binary general (p. [*]) for more details.
