    Examples

    >>> from io import BytesIO
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> from scipy.sparse import coo_array
    >>> from scipy.io import mmwrite

    Write a small NumPy array to a matrix market file.  The file will be
    written in the ``'array'`` format.

    >>> a = np.array([[1.0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 2.5, 0, 6.25]])
    >>> target = BytesIO()
    >>> mmwrite(target, a)

    1
    0
    0
    2.5
    0
    0
    0
    6.25

    Add a comment to the output file, and set the precision to 3.

    >>> target = BytesIO()
    >>> mmwrite(target, a, comment='\n Some test data.\n', precision=3)
    >>> print(target.getvalue().decode('latin1'))

    Convert to a sparse matrix before calling ``mmwrite``.  This will
    result in the output format being ``'coordinate'`` rather than
    ``'array'``.

    Write a complex Hermitian array to a matrix market file.  Note that
    only six values are actually written to the file; the other values
    are implied by the symmetry.
