NAME

       uvfconvert - convert files to UVF.

SYNOPSIS

       uvfconvert -i file [ options ] -o output

DESCRIPTION

       uvfconvert  is  a  command  line  tool to convert data into UVF, the native format for the desktop volume
       rendering program imagevis3d.  Unlike ImageVis3D, the tool can be run on  headless  nodes  with  no  GPUs
       installed, and utilizes very little memory even for extremely large data.

OPTIONS

       The command line options of uvfconvert are:

       -i filename, --input filename
              The  input  data  set  to convert.  Must be in one of ImageVis3D's supported file formats (see the
              "Getting Data Into ImageVis3D" manual).  For merging multiple data sets, this option  is  accepted
              multiple times.

       -d path, --directory path
              Input  data  to  convert,  if stored as a stack in a directory.  Sets of images or DICOMs commonly
              come in this format.

              One of -i or -d is required.

       -s floating point number, --scale floating point number
              Optional.  When merging multiple data sets, this scaling factor will be applied to all  values  in
              the second file.  Defaults to 0.0.

       -b floating point number, --bias floating point number
              Optional.   When merging multiple data sets, this bias factor will be applied to all values in the
              second file.  Defaults to 0.0.

       -o filename, --output filename
              Required.  The filename which will be generated.

       --version
              Optional.  Display a version number and then exit.

       --, --ignore-rest
              Optional.  Any arguments following these flags will be ignored by the program.
