What is the code for defining a binary array in Matlab?

I need to define binary data I have as a binary array. I know how to do this in IDL 'BYTARR(361,361)', however I do not know the equivalent in Matlab, if anyone could shed some light?

You say you already have your binary array.. ? Perhaps you are searching for logical()

[Stephen23]

MATLAB does not have a fundamental data class "binary array":

Binary arrays are typically encoded using char arrays or logical arrays. Of course every floating point number or integer is also just a visualization of some binary vector, so you could also use those.

                                     IDL Data Types
  Data Type                     Description                          Type Name
    Byte        An 8-bit unsigned integer ranging in value              BYTE  
                from 0 to 255. Pixels in images are commonly
                represented as byte data.
     ...

In Matlab, that is uint8

See <Matlab data-types>

I don't know IDL syntax but I presume BYTARR is just an array of BYTE; all numeric values in Matlab are arrays(*) so there's nothing unique required from that standpoint.

(*) A scalar is just a 1-element array.
