+Iso-cuboid
+**********
+
+Such a file describes an iso-oriented cuboid with diagonal opposite vertices
+(min_x, min_y, min_z,...) and (max_x, max_y, max_z, ...). The format is::
+
+ min_x min_y [min_z ...]
+ max_x max_y [max_z ...]

+Perseus
+*******
+
+This file format is the format used by the
+`Perseus software <http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~vnanda/perseus/>`_ by Vidit Nanda.
+The first line contains a number d begin the dimension of the bitmap (2 in the
+example below). Next d lines are the numbers of top dimensional cubes in each
+dimensions (3 and 3 in the example below). Next, in lexicographical order, the
+filtration of top dimensional cubes is given (1 4 6 8 20 4 7 6 5 in the example
+below).

+ Example of a input data.
+
+The input file for the following complex is:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../data/bitmap/cubicalcomplexdoc.txt
+
+.. centered:: ../../data/bitmap/cubicalcomplexdoc.txt
+
+To indicate periodic boundary conditions in a given direction, then number of
+top dimensional cells in this direction have to be multiplied by -1. For
+instance:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../data/bitmap/periodiccubicalcomplexdoc.txt
+
+.. centered:: ../../data/bitmap/periodiccubicalcomplexdoc.txt
+
+
+Indicate that we have imposed periodic boundary conditions in the direction x,
+but not in the direction y.
