NAME
mincsample - generate samplings from minc files.
SYNOPSIS
mincsample [<options>] <in1.mnc> [<in2.mnc> [<..>]]
DESCRIPTION
Mincsample produces a data sampling on STDOUT from an input series of minc files. The output can be
either ascii (-ascii) or as a raw binary stream of doubles (-double). The output data is ordered first by
file then voxel. When -ascii is used the data values from each file are separated by a tab and the
sampling points with a newline. When using -double, no separators are used.
If -coords is also specified, the world co-ordinate at each sampling point will precede the data from
each of the files. An optional -outfile argument can also be used to direct the output to a file and
-append used to append the data to the file as opposed to overwriting the file.
By default all data points are written out (-all) the output of points can also be constrained to be
points within a mask (-mask and -mask_val) and further by a random sampling of a sub-set of points via
the -random_samples and -random_seed arguments
OPTIONS
-verbose
Print extra information during processing.
-quiet Print only the output sampling data.
-clobber
Overwrite existing output files (when used with -outfile)
-max_buffer size
Specify the maximum size of the internal buffers (in kbytes). Default is 4096 (4MB).
-mask mask.mnc
Specify and input mask, only sampling points within this mask will be used.
-mask_val value
Specify the value to use from the mask (Default: 1).
-all Sample all the data points.
-random_seed value
Specify the random seed value to use during random sampling, this is to enable reproducible runs.
If no seed is given a semi-random seed will be chosen (from time).
-random_samples value
Specify the number of random samples to take from the input files. This value must be smaller than
the maximum possible number of samples.
-sample sample.mnc
Output a mask file that corresponds to where samples were taken from.
-outfile file
Output sampling data to a file. (Default: STDOUT).
-append
Append output data to an existing file.
-ascii Write out data as ascii strings (Default).
-ascii Write out data as double precision floating-point values.
-coords
Write out world co-ordinates as well as sampling values.
-help Print summary of command-line options and exit.
-version
Print the program's version number and exit.
