✨ warp2ps — Deformation to PostScript ✨

okay bestie, this is a page from The Computational Morphometry Toolkit (that's the CMTK vibe, section 1 of the manual, iykyk) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

warp2ps — Deformation to PostScript

like... it takes a deformation and turns it into PostScript. that's the whole name. slay.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

warp2ps [options] referenceImage xform

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works is: you hand it a deformation field, and it writes it out as a deformed grid in PostScript format — for visualization and illustration. that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "I make pretty pictures of warped grids and I'm not sorry" 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

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

these ones are the group-chat regulars — every CMTK tool has them, they show up to every party 🫶

  • --help — writes the list of basic command line options to standard output. basic. not the whole lore.
  • --help-all — writes the complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output. yes bestie, the full lore, the extended universe, everything 🔥
  • --wiki — writes the list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup. for when you're feeling wiki-ish ✨
  • --man — writes man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output. the meta option. the option that generates the very thing you're reading rn 💀
  • --version — writes the toolkit version to standard output.
  • --echo — writes the current command line to standard output. it just... repeats you back. main character energy honestly.
  • --verbose-level <integer> — sets the verbosity level. <integer>, babes. a number.
  • --verbose, -v — increments the verbosity level by 1. ⚠️ it's deprecated — supported only for backward compatibility. still works, just old. respect your elders 🙈
  • --threads <integer> — sets the maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP). multitasking queen 👑

💜 Main Options 💜

this is the actual good stuff, the real content, the reason we're all here ⭐

  • --invert-xform — inverts the main transformation. flip it, reverse it, turn it inside out 🌀
  • --minus-xform <string>, -m <string> — subtracts this transformation (e.g., to exclude initial affine component). [Default: NONE]
  • --invert-minus-xform — inverts the minus transformation. yes, you can invert the thing you subtracted. iconic.
  • --axis-z, -Z — slice orthogonal to the z-axis (axial, default). [This is the default]
  • --axis-y, -Y — slice orthogonal to the y-axis (sagittal).
  • --axis-x, -X — slice orthogonal to the x-axis (coronal).
  • --slice <integer> — index of the z-slice (default: center). [Default: -1]
  • --line-width <float> — line width [default: 0]. [Default: 0]
  • --sampling <integer> — sampling factor (default: 1). [Default: 1]
  • --scale <float> — coordinage scale factor (default: 1.0). [Default: 1] (yes it says "coordinage", we are not fixing the typo, we are honoring it 🫡)
  • --box, -b — draws the reference bounding box. put it in a box. box it up. 📦
  • --crop <string>, -C <string> — sets the in-plane crop region as 'x0,y0:x1,y1'. exact format, bestie, don't freestyle it.
