+This tool is intended to strip the column/row headers off of an aligned matrix (in matrix2png format) for easy import into Matlab or other software where only the data values are required. It removes the first row and first column from a tabular file.

+
+**Example**
+
+If the following tabular matrix is used as input ::
+
+    ID    col1  col2  col3
+    row1   2     4     5
+    row2   5     1     1
+  
+then the following tabular matrix will be produced as output ::
+
+    2     4     5
+    5     1     1
