 @constant BCMatrixFormat

 @discussion Value for format dictionary entry to indicate the data
 in the file is in matrix format.  Matrix format assumes each line
 the data file corresponds to a row in the data matrix and each column
 in that row separate by BCSeparatorCharacterSet.  For example, the following data
 is in matrix form to produce a 4x3 matrix, 4 rows and 3 columns.
 <pre>
 @textblock

 data file is in matrix format.
*/

/*!
 @constant BCListFormat
 @abstract Indicate data file is in list format.
 @discussion Value for format dictionary entry to indicate the data
 in the file is in list format.  List format assumes each line
 the data file corresponds to a single matrix entry.  Each line in
 the data file has exactly 3 fields, separated by BCSeparatorCharacterSet, with
 the first field being the row name, second field being the column
 name, and the third field being the value for the matrix entry.
 For example, the following data is in list format to produce
 a 4x3 matrix, 4 rows and 3 columns.
 <pre>
 @textblock
r1	c1	1
r1	c2	2
r1	c3	3
r2	c2	5
r3	c1	7
r4	c3	12
 @/textblock
 </pre>

 BCRowNames and BCColumnNames must be provided to BCDataMatrix
 for reading data in list format.  The entries can be specified
 in any order, if a matrix entry appears more than once then the
 last value in the file is used.  Not all entries need to be
 provided, unspecified matrix entries will be left the default
 empty value.

 @constant BCSeparatorCharacterSet
