The "columns" in binary mode are unconnected with any reality
that my poor brain can comprehend.  I am surprised that the
above command produces anything useful. I would have expected
it to produce a uniform grid (column 1 = x coord; column 2 = y coord)
at z=0.  That's what `help binary` describes, anyhow.
