💖 mk_phantom_3d — the mk_phantom_3d(1) page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is a tool from The Computational Morphology Toolkit (CMTK, iconic), and it's literally just here to make phantom images for you. 3D digital phantom images. We're drawing shapes into a volume like it's arts and crafts hour. 🎨✨

✨ NAME ✨

mk_phantom_3d — Generate phantom image 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mk_phantom_3d [options] command0 [command1 ...]        sphere x,y,z
radius value       box x0,y0,z0 x1,y1,z1 value

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Generate 3D digital phantom images using a selection of drawing commands. that's it, that's the whole vibe — you feed it commands, it gives you a phantom. no cap. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

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

like, every CMTK tool has these. they're the communal snacks of the toolkit. 🍓

  • --help — Write list of basic command line options to standard output. the lil starter menu.
  • --help-all — Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output. the full menu, no secrets kept.
  • --wiki — Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup. for when you're being wiki-famous.
  • --man — Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output. yes, the exact markup this page was born from. meta af.
  • --version — Write toolkit version to standard output.
  • --echo — Write the current command line to standard output. it's giving "receipts".
  • --verbose-level <integer> — Set verbosity level.
  • --verbose, -v — Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility). she's retired but still showing up to the function 💀
  • --threads <integer> — Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP). more threads = more girlies working in parallel.

🎀 Main Options

  • --dims <string>, -D <string> — Set dimensions in voxels.
  • --voxel <string>, -V <string> — Set voxel size in [mm].
  • --coordinates — Coordinate specification mode. Supported values: "indexed", "absolute", "relative", where the default is "indexed", or use one of the following:
    • --indexed — Use grid indexes to specify coordinates. For each dimension, the valid value range is [0,Dims-1]. [This is the default]
    • --absolute — Use absolute volume coordinates. For each dimension, the valid range is [0,FOV].
    • --relative — Use relative volume coordinates. For each dimension, the valid range is [0,1].
  • --char, -c — 8 bits, signed.
  • --byte, -b — 8 bits, unsigned.
  • --short, -s — 16 bits, signed.
  • --ushort, -u — 16 bits, unsigned. [This is the default]
  • --int, -i — 32 bits signed.
  • --float, -f — 32 bits floating point.
  • --double, -d — 64 bits floating point.
  • --bg <double>, -B <double> — Set the image background value (use to initialize newly created image). [Default: 0]
  • --import <string>, -I <string> — Import image. [Default: NONE]
  • --import-grid <string> — Import image grid only, ignore data. [Default: disabled]
  • --outfile <string>, -o <string> — File name for output image. [Default: phantom.nii ]
