Use the MatrixReader class to read real or complex matrices from files or streams in a standard format.

Two methods are supplied: ReadMatrix(String, MatrixStorageFormat) reads real matrices, while ReadComplexMatrix(String, MatrixStorageFormat) reads complex matrices. Input can be supplied in the form of a string containing the filename, a TextReader, or a Stream. The format must be specified as a MatrixStorageFormat value.

Alternatively, you can create an instance of a class that inherits from MatrixReader and call its ReadMatrix(String, MatrixStorageFormat) or ReadComplexMatrix(String, MatrixStorageFormat) methods. The following classes allow you to read specific formats:
