NAME
mincmakevector - convert a list of scalar minc files into one vector
file
SYNOPSIS
mincmakevector [<options>] <in>.mnc [...] <out>.mnc
DESCRIPTION
Mincmakevector converts a list of scalar minc files into one vector
minc file. A vector minc file is one that contains the dimension
vector_dimension as the fastest varying dimension of the image data and
represents vector data at each voxel such as RGB images or gradient
volumes. A scalar minc file does not contain the vector dimension and
represents grayscale or intensity data.
OPTIONS
Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they
are unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line.
General options
-2 Create a MINC 2.0 format output file.
-clobber
Overwrite an existing file.
-noclobber
Don’t overwrite an existing file (default).
-no_clobber
Synonym for -noclobber.
-verbose
Print out progress information for each chunk of data copied
(default).
-quiet Do not print out progress information.
-buffer_size size
Specify the maximum size of the internal buffers (in kbytes).
Default is 10 MB.
-filetype
Create an output file with the same type as the first input file
(default).
-byte Store output voxels as 8-bit integers.
-short Store output voxels as 16-bit integers.
-int Store output voxels as 32-bit integers
-long Superseded by -int.
-float Store output voxels as 32-bit floating point numbers.
-double
Store output voxels as 64-bit floating point numbers.
-signed
Create an output file with data stored in a signed type. This
only has an effect if the one of the -byte, -short or -int
options is specified.
-unsigned
Create an output file with data stored in an unsigned type. This
only has an effect if the one of the -byte, -short or -int
options is specified.
-valid_range min max
Create an output file with integer data stored in the specified
restricted range. This only has an effect if the one of the
-byte, -short or -int options is specified.
Generic options for all commands:
-help Print summary of command-line options and exit.
-version
Print the program’s version number and exit.
EXAMPLES
To convert files containing red, green and blue colour components into
an RGB file:
mincmakevector red.mnc green.mnc blue.mnc rgb.mnc
