NAME
im_analyze2vips - convert Analyze 7.5 images to VIPS format
SYNOPSIS
#include <vips/vips.h>
int im_analyze2vips( const char *filename, IMAGE *out )
DESCRIPTION
im_analyze2vips(3) reads the Analyze image in filename, and writes the
image out in VIPS format. It can read (almost) any Analyze format
image. Images with more than two dimensions simply appear as a very
tall, thin strip. Use im_grid(3) to lay the tiles out as your prefer.
It reads the old-style 7.5 format, where the header and the image data
are stored in separate files. You can give the name of either the
header (for example, "fred.hdr") the image data (for example,
"fred.img"), or neither (eg. "fred").
The fields in the Analyze header appear in the VIPS header with a
"dsr-" prefix. So the Analyze field "patient_id", which is part of
data_history, may be retrieved with
im_header_string "dsr-data_history.patient_id" fred.v
