**Description**


There are three ways in which a user can specify generating matrices:

- inline generating matrices (with the keyword :dakkw:`method-sampling-sample_type-low_discrepancy-digital_net-generating_matrices-inline`)
- generating matrices read from an external file (with the keyword :dakkw:`method-sampling-sample_type-low_discrepancy-digital_net-generating_matrices-file`)
- predefined generating matrices (with the keyword :dakkw:`method-sampling-sample_type-low_discrepancy-digital_net-generating_matrices-predefined`)

One of these options must be specified if the ``generating_matrices`` keyword is provided.
