✨ fib2image — bestie, we're turning fiber points into an actual image ✨

okay so quick vibe check: this is the fib2image(1) manual page, and it's genuinely iconic. it does one thing and it does it slayfully — draws an image from point coordinates of fiber tracks from a .fib file. periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

fib2image — draw an image from the point coordinates of fiber tracks out of a .fib file 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fib2image TrackingImage

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea, bestie 🍓: fiber tracking results from the UNC Fiber Tracking tool get read in from Standard Input — like, everything comes in through stdin, no cap — and then all the fiber points get drawn into a 3D image. every single one. 👑

The result gets written out in one of the supported image file formats. that's the whole plot. simple, clean, main character energy. 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💜 Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools) 💜

like, these ones aren't special to fib2image — every CMTK tool gets them. shared custody situation. 🫶

  • --help — writes the list of basic command line options to standard output 📝
  • --help-all — writes the complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output 🔥
  • --wiki — writes the list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup 🌐
  • --man — writes man page source in nroff markup to standard output 📖
  • --version — writes the toolkit version to standard output ⭐
  • --echo — writes the current command line to standard output 📢
  • --verbose-level <integer> — sets the verbosity level 🔉
  • --verbose, -v — increments the verbosity level by 1. heads up though: this one is deprecated and only still around for backward compatibility 🙈
  • --threads <integer> — sets the maximum number of parallel threads, for POSIX threads and OpenMP 🧵

🎀 Main Options 🎀

  • --value <double> — the value that gets used for drawing fiber points. [Default: 1] ✏️
  • --output <string>, -o <string> — the output image file name. [Default: fib2image.nii ] 💾
ngl that default output name has a lil trailing space in it in the original — we're keeping it exactly as-is, bestie. character for character. 💀
