Read

File formats

Note

In the case that a BINARY_FLAT file is read, the formed matrix should have already been of the correct size before reading.

C++ API

enum FileFormat
enumerator AUTO

Attempt to detect format from filename extension

enumerator ASCII

Simple ASCII text file

enumerator ASCII_MATLAB

MATLAB-ready ASCII text file

enumerator BINARY

Column-major binary file with integer height and width header

enumerator BINARY_FLAT

Column-major binary file with no header data

enumerator BMP

Bitmap image format (requires Qt5)

enumerator MATRIX_MARKET

Matrix Market format

enumerator JPG

JPG image format (requires Qt5)

enumerator JPEG

enumerator PPM

C API

ElFileFormat

An enum that can take on the following values:

  • EL_AUTO: attempt to detect format from filename extension

  • EL_ASCII: simple ASCII text file

  • EL_ASCII_ASCII: MATLAB-ready ASCII text file

  • EL_BINARY: column-major binary file with integer height and width header

  • EL_BINARY_FLAT: column-major binary file with no header data

  • EL_BMP: bitmap image format (requires Qt5)

  • EL_PPM: PPM image format (requires Qt5)

  • EL_XBM: XBM image format (requires Qt5)

  • EL_XPM: XPM image format (requires Qt5)

Dense matrices

Elemental supports reading matrices from several different file formats (at the moment, ASCII, BINARY, BINARY_FLAT and MATRIX_MARKET). In the distributed case, the sequential flag determines whether or not the data should be read from file by a single process and then afterward scattered to the entire set of processes.

C++ API

void Read(Matrix<T> &A, std::string filename, FileFormat format = AUTO)
void Read(AbstractDistMatrix<T> &A, std::string filename, FileFormat format = AUTO, bool sequential = false)

C API

ElError ElRead_i(ElMatrix_i A, const char* filename, ElFileFormat format)
ElError ElRead_s(ElMatrix_s A, const char* filename, ElFileFormat format)
ElError ElRead_d(ElMatrix_d A, const char* filename, ElFileFormat format)

Write

Elemental also supports writing matrices to disk in various file formats. However, please note that Qt5 is currently required for writing to image formats.
