5.2 Matrix Binary Format

This format represents a matrix such as a transfer function. Fig. 5.2 shows an overview.

At the first 32 bytes, a string which indicates that the file is the Matrix binary format. At the second 32 bytes, a string which indicates that the data type of the content. The supported data types are: int32, float32, and complex, which indicate 4 bytes int, 4 bytes float, and complex number (4bytes float for real and 4 bytes float for imag), respectively. Then,
