NAME¶
mincconvert - convert between MINC 1 to MINC 2 format.
SYNOPSIS¶
mincconvert [-clobber] [-2] infile outfile
mincconvert -help
DESCRIPTION¶
mincconvert copies the input file to the output file, possibly converting
the file from MINC 1 to MINC 2 format, or vice versa.
With the
-template flag,
mincconvert creates a
"template" volume from the input MINC volume. The template volume
preserves all of the structure (dimensions, variables, and attributes) of the
input MINC volume but omits all data. Any attempt to read data will return
zeroes.
The resulting file is typically much shorter than a normal MINC volume, and may
be useful for scripts which want to carry such structural information forward
into their output files. As a hint to future programmers and users, this
program places a special global attribute in the file, with the name
class and the value
template.
OPTIONS¶
- -2
- Create a MINC 2 format file
- -clobber
- Overwrite a pre-existing output file. -help Print a
summary of command line options and exit
- -template
- Create a template file.
- -compress N
- Compress file with compression level N. Valid
compression levels are 0 for no compression to 9 for maximum compression.
The option has no effect if the output file is a MINC 1 file.
- -chunk M
- Store file in a block-structured arrangement, using
hypercubes of edge length M. The option has no effect if the output
file is a MINC 1 file.
- -help
- Print summary of command-line options and exit.
- -version
- Print the program's version number and exit.
