NAME

       stream_pixels - Stream pixel data from one or more images to Standard Output.

SYNOPSIS

       stream_pixels ImagePaths

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  reads  one  or  more  images  and  writes all their pixels to standard output in binary form.
       Optionally, each image can be reoriented to a specified anatomical  orientation  and/or  converted  to  a
       different  data  type.  This  is  useful  for  piping image data through a pipeline, e.g., the Camino DTI
       toolkit.

OPTIONS

   Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)
       --help
            Write list of basic command line options to standard output.

       --help-all
            Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.

       --wiki
            Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup.

       --man
            Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output.

       --version
            Write toolkit version to standard output.

       --echo
            Write the current command line to standard output.

       --verbose-level <integer>
            Set verbosity level.

       --verbose, -v
            Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility).

       --threads <integer>
            Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

   Main Options
       --reorient <string>
            Reorient all images to anatomy-based standard orientation, e.g., RAS or LPS for axial.  Default:  no
            reorientation.  [Default: NONE]

       --change-endian
            Change endianness. Default: native endianness.

       --convert
            Convert data to new scalar type. Default: no conversion.  Supported values: "char", "byte", "short",
            "ushort", "int", "uint", "float", "double", or use one of the following:

            --char
                 8 bits, signed integer

            --byte
                 8 bits, unsigned integer

            --short
                 16 bits, signed integer

            --ushort
                 16 bits, unsigned integer

            --int
                 32 bits, signed integer

            --uint
                 32 bits, unsigned integer

            --float
                 32-bits, single-precision floating point

            --double
                 64 bits, double-precision floating point
