I have a binary file(a) with size of (360 720 )for the globe.I wrote the code given below to read and extract an area (south america)from that file. when
I use summary for the whole file I got:
summary(a, na.rm=FALSE)
Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.    NA's
0.00    1.00    3.00    4.15    7.00   20.00  200083 .

But when I used summary for the region(b) which I extracted, I got many V1,V2, V3. Which is not right I should have got one line (as for a )not many
V1,V2.

Actually the expected behavior with summary() on a matrix object is a column by column summary.

Here is the code:
X <- c(200:300)
Y <- c(150:190)
conne <- file("C:\\initial-WTD.bin", "rb")
a=readBin(conne, numeric(), size=4,  n=360*720, signed=TRUE)
a[a == -9999] <- NA
y <- matrix(data=a,ncol=360,nrow=720)
image(t(t(y[X,Y])),ylim=c(1,0))
b = y[X,Y]
summary(b,na.rm=TRUE)
