1.4.2 Input from binary data files

Gnuplot can now read a generic `binary` input, including matrix binary and `general binary` (until now gnuplot supported only its own `binary matrix` format). Several matrix file formats are autodetected (`gpbin`, `edf`, `avs`). Binary data files are mainly useful for `image` and `rgbimage` drawings. See `binary` and `binary general filetype`.
