.. _fwflag_preserve_bin_table:
======================
--preserve_bin_table
======================
Switch
======

--preserve_bin_table

Description
===========

Preserves the :doc:`fwflag_feat_flexibin` binned ("flexibin") table after use, instead of dropping it, so subsequent runs can plot faster (see :doc:`fwflag_skip_bin_step`).

Argument and Default Value
==========================

No argument. Boolean switch, default: ``False``.

Details
=======

**Note:** :doc:`fwflag_feat_flexibin` itself is currently broken for an unrelated reason (references never-registered ``args.gender``/``args.genderattack`` — see the Known issue on that page), so this switch has no working consumer as of this writing even when supplied correctly.

Other Switches
==============

Required Switches:

* :doc:`fwflag_feat_flexibin`

Example Commands
================
