Array

Describes the sampling array dimensions associated with the binary file. The coordinates will be generated by gnuplot. A number must be specified for each dimension, thereby calling out the size of the array. For example, array=10x20 means the underlying sampling structure is two-dimensional with 10 points along the first (x) dimension and 20 points along the second (y) dimension. A special "number", Inf, can be used to indicate that data should be read until the end of file. A colon can be used to separate the dimensions for multiple records. For example, array=25:35 indicates there are two one-dimensional records within the file. The colon behavior applies to the remaining keywords in this list for which it makes sense to be associated with individual records.

Currently, syntax allows for up to three-dimensional arrays. However, no conventions have yet been made for handling three-dimensional coordinates.
