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       -long  Superseded by -int.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
